An Action Plan For Republic

Focus on improving the business atmosphere of the community
After the community survey our community decided that they would really like to see our businesses development improve and tourism become stronger.

HOW WILL THIS ADDRESS POVERTY?

By assisting the local businesses already in existence we will help create an atmosphere that encourages entrepreneurs and small business development, expansion and retention opportunities.
Through this project we will work to assist existing small and local businesses and consequently reduce poverty within the community.

Our community is trying to improve our local economy with improving tourism and providing trainings for our community members.

POTENTIAL PARTNERS:
Tri-County Economic Development District
Small Business Revitalization Assistant
Ferry County
Republic City Council
Shop the Frontier

ACTION STEPS:
Partnerships with the Recreation and Tourism Coordinator and the Small business Revitalization Assistant are working on new ways to promote local business and to make Republic and the surrounding communities more welcoming to visitors. They have done this by working on making information more accessible to the Visitor.
