Strategic Objectives: 

• Streamline and modernize business support processes to improve efficiency, access to resources, and accessibility for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
• Enhance Raleigh’s local arts and culture ecosystem to drive both resident engagement and economic growth.

We want to hear from you about starting, running, and growing a business in our city. What’s working well, what challenges have you faced, and what could make things easier or more accessible? 

We’re working to make City processes simpler and more efficient for businesses, while also better supporting local artists and increasing awareness of arts and cultural opportunities across the community. 

Your input will help us improve support for businesses, strengthen the local economy, and expand access to arts and culture. 

Below are opportunities for you to share your experience.
