The CRA addresses the longstanding communication gap between store owners and city officials, whether due to language barriers or mistrust. We serve as a hub to tackle critical issues that store owners face. For far too long, retail owners have operated individually when dealing with matters at the city, state, or federal level, often experiencing neglect or mistreatment. Many business owners accept these outcomes because they lack the time, knowledge, and resources to take action. Additionally, we consult with store owners on maintaining compliance with regulations and provide strategies to enhance relationships within the neighborhoods they serve, fostering a supportive community that benefits both businesses and residents alike
