BUFFALO, NY (The Buffalo News) — The Buffalo Niagara Partnership wants to bring the smallest of small businesses into the fold.
The Partnership is also offering free membership to locally owned and operated restaurants of any size.
Dottie Gallagher, president and CEO of the Partnership, said this is an outgrowth of the steps the business group has taken to expand its reach, such as diversifying its board of directors and launching efforts like the Minority Business Initiative.
“We have been doing a lot of work, but we have not cracked the code on super-small businesses feeling they have a place at the Partnership,” she said. “And quite honestly, we feel strongly that we can really help small business."
