Description
Green business
There isn’t one clear definition of what a green job or green business is. Many existing definitions classify them by the building sector or the type of skills needed for each occupation. We’re working to define green business so we can better track this work in Minneapolis.
What we’re doing now
Even without an official definition of green business, we support local businesses generally. Efforts include:
- Technical assistance programs
- Financing for capital acquisition
- Building improvements and acquisition
- Education on licensing
- Workforce development training.
This helps grow the economy, create jobs, and build stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods.
We also offer a variety of tools to help entrepreneurs, particularly those facing barriers, launch and grow businesses. Learn more about our programs and impact:
