Community-Based Economic Development
Community-Based Economic Development (CBED) seeks to build a thriving local and regional community-based economy that embraces and supports the diversity of entrepreneurs and small business owners. In 2008, AHANA (the Inland Northwest's leading minority and small business development organization) merged with Community-Minded Enterprises. CBED expands upon AHANA's mastery of multi-cultural strategic business consulting by leveraging CME's tradition of creating partnerships and collaboration around shared vision, and attraction of national capital to Spokane-area projects.
Community-Based Economic Development's overall strategic priorities include:
- Small Business Development Services
- Green Industry Development
- Buy Local Campaign
- Neighborhood Revitalization
- Workforce Development
