Re: $60,000 Technical Assistance and Business Development Training
Dear Mr. Villacorta,
Thank you for allowing Neighbors and Neighbors Association Inc. (NANA) to provide technical
assistance and business development training to businesses in the Southeast OvertownfParkWest and
Omn1Redevelop .ent ]district.
On January 26, 2008 NANA was awarded a contract for $20,000 for our services. Through this
program 49 businesses showed an interest in participating and 32 completed the 9 week course in
which were given access to business assistance and were very grateful for the services rendered.
As a result of our success with businesses in the targeted areas we would like to request $60,000 to
offer technical assistance and business development training to small businesses year round.
It is in our genuine interest to provide the best technical assistance and business guidance for small and
emerging businesses.
W.e appreciate your consideration and continued support on this matter.
Sincerely,
Loy Jo ►.
