Last week, the EDC had the honor and privilege of hosting our Small Business Appreciation Event— a celebration of the hardworking entrepreneurs, dreamers, and local leaders who keep our community thriving.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared stories, built connections, and reminded us why supporting local matters so much. We are proud to stand beside our small business community and look forward to continuing to grow together.

Here’s to the businesses that make our community stronger — today and every day. 💙

A very big thank you to Representative Keresa Richardson for taking the time to drive up from Austin to celebrate with us! We appreciate you and your support.

Happy National Small Business Week! 🎉

This week, we celebrate the innovators, risk-takers, and community builders who turn big dreams into reality every single day. Small businesses are more than storefronts and services—they are the heart of our neighborhoods, the drivers of creativity, and the backbone of our economy.

To every entrepreneur working late nights, solving problems on the fly, and showing up with passion and purpose: your impact matters, and your dedication does not go unnoticed.

📣 Don’t miss out: The U.S. Small Business Administration is hosting a FREE virtual summit tomorrow and Wednesday, packed with valuable resources, expert insights, and webinars designed to help you grow and succeed. Be sure to register and take advantage of this opportunity!

Let’s continue to support, collaborate, and champion small businesses—not just this week, but all year long.
