The Community Business Launch (CBL) program is a place-based entrepreneurial development strategy that fills a critical need or gap in the community’s market, filling a concentration of vacant storefronts or available properties with expansion or start-up ventures. Local CBL programs train entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners about business planning practices and generate excitement in the community!

Join us on Thursday, February 24, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. for the FY2023 CBL How-to-Apply Webinar, which will cover the basics of the CBL program design, as well as what to expect when submitting a CBL application in CAMS. The webinar will be recorded and uploaded here.
