City’s Biz Offices Working Together
Filed Friday, July 6, 2007 at 12:00 PM
License Collector Michael McMillan and Collector of Revenue Gregory F.X. Daly have teamed up to continue to bring government closer to the community.
They are sponsoring three business license and resource fairs throughout the City. Several economic development assistance agencies will be present along with financial institutions to assist companies in maintaining and expanding their business opportunities in the City.
Through these fairs, the business community will learn about the public and private resources designed to encourage their growth. In addition, any business owners in need of a license will have an opportunity to pay any licensing fees.
McMillan and Daly plan to hold these fairs on an annual basis in an attempt to grow and promote business in the City.
The events will include representatives of the St. Louis Development Corporation, the City’s Business Assistance Center and Building Division, the Missouri Small Business Development Center, the U.S. Small Business Administration, Bank of America, Commerce Bank, Gateway National Bank, Pulaski Bank, Regions Bank, Royal Bank and U.S. Bank.
McMillan said, “Our goal is to provide a resource to the community that will be valuable to our City’s companies while encouraging these businesses to get up to date with their license fees.”
“I think it is our duty to do anything we can to enhance revenue for our emergency service personnel, as well as providing additional resources for our parks, streets and schools,” said Daly.
The fairs will be hosted at three different locations and are scheduled for the following dates:
