Idea Submission for The People's Money:
Creating a larger budget for small cultural businesses. This will help many people get the funding they need to eventually become bigger in NYC. Ex: Hispanic owned businesses, restaurants, arabic cafes, asian owned bakeries.
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
Many people tried to start small businesses during Covid, the amount of funding for small and workforce development isn't enough to keep them going. NYC runs on small businesses, they deserve more appreciation
