Greater Frogtown >> Business development services >> Retail Attraction

There is a lot to know about the benefits of starting or relocating a business in the Frogtown neighborhoods. We are working to provide potential businesses with all the information they need to make the decision to invest in our community.

Greater Frogtown was proud to have been selected by the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) for a new program in attracting retail businesses to the urban core. The project includes membership in the International Council of Shopping Centers, and access to data and analysis tools to help promote the best aspects of doing business in our area. Please visit the links below for additional information about bringing new retail to our community. Of course, we welcome hearing from you about your ideas. Please contact us with your questions.
