Celina officials are moving forward with a new local business support program that aims to improve workforce development, help startups and boost visibility for local businesses. City officials launched the program and appointed its committee members earlier this year in May.
What you need to know: At their Nov. 11 meeting, Celina City Council members received an update on the program committee’s work over the summer, which included setting specific parameters and goals. Additionally, the program’s committee is made up of members of the city’s economic development corporation, City Council, chamber of commerce, downtown commission and regional and workforce partners.
Committee participants highlighted needs such as strengthening workforce pipelines, establishing startup mentoring and improving city resource accessibility, according to city documents.
Quote of note: "Supporting these businesses isn’t just about economics—it’s about supporting the fabric of our community,” Celina Economic Development Corp. Director Anthony Satarino said.
