Our mission is to advocate for business owners (store front and home based), strengthen relationships between businesses and the community, and serve as a conduit between members and the City of Minneapolis to improve activity that assists in business development. It's our goal to build a sense of business identity through regularly scheduled meetings, networking between our members, and coordinated activities with the six neighborhood organizations that fall within our boundaries (all of East Harriet Farmstead and Kingfield and parts of CARAG, Lyndale, Lynhurst andTangletown/Fuller). NEHBA serves all businesses within our boundaries - not just our members - and the size of our paid membership gives us an influential voice in speaking on behalf of the business community.
To better serve our community and provide an online presence for our business members, NEHBA launched experiencesouthwest.com, Southwest Minneapolis' only online business directory. We hope you bookmark this directory and use it to locate and find information on restaurants, every type of service, schools, retail, automotive, churches, etc. and more!
NEHBA's member base was over 80 paid members in 2009 and our goal for 2010 is to have 100 paid members with a stretch goal of 110 (50% of the storefronts within the business boundaries). An organization with a large number of paying business members has a strong voice with City staff and elected officials.
It's time to renew your membership or become a member if you haven't already! Help us continue to address your concerns as a business owner. Email us if you have questions regarding membership or want more information.
