City of College Park Economic Development

Behind every thriving downtown is a network of people working to help businesses start, grow and stay connected. College Park’s Economic Development Department plays a key role in that work, supporting business retention, development opportunities and relationships between entrepreneurs, employers and the wider community.

This first CPMSA Spotlight recognizes the department’s emphasis on convening businesses and sharing information that can help them navigate opportunities in and around Historic College Park.

Business growth starts with stronger connections.

Connection

Business Connect

City-hosted business conversations and networking bring local merchants and community stakeholders together, making it easier to learn about activities and build relationships.

Learning

Practical business education

Programs such as the Business Success Speaker Series, including discussions around business funding, encourage entrepreneurs to learn and plan for their next stage.

Opportunity

Retention, jobs & investment

The department identifies business recruitment and retention, workforce development, and site selection as priorities for the local economy.

Why we’re highlighting the department: Local businesses benefit when municipal economic development, entrepreneurs and independent community organizations communicate and collaborate. CPMSA recognizes the department’s work and the importance of creating more opportunities for merchants to engage.
Working together for Historic College Park

Different roles. A shared commitment to downtown.

The City of College Park Economic Development Department administers its municipal business-development initiatives. College Park Main Street Association is an independent nonprofit governed by its own board, working alongside the City, merchants, property owners and other partners to support downtown vitality.

CPMSA can help introduce the wider Main Street community to relevant City programs, events and resources. Participation in CPMSA does not guarantee City grants, program access or funding.
