Thank you, Downtown Dartmouth Business Commission - Member Statement
CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise today during Small Business Week to recognize the Downtown Dartmouth Business Commission.
Led by Executive Director Tim Rissesco and an amazing board of directors, the commission has been championing small business interests for many years. In addition to supporting local businesses with funding, advocacy, and capacity-building, the team has brought iconic street art, beautification, festivals, and food crawls to downtown Dartmouth.
In the last 10 years, the downtown core has seen a massive expansion of shops, eateries, and experiences for all ages to enjoy. The Downtown Dartmouth Business Commission is as committed to building community as it is to building commerce and has helped put Dartmouth on the map. Please join me in thanking them for all of their hard work.
