Business Resources
Ready for Rail
The Business Resource Collaborative created a
Ready for Rail website containing information
about services and resources — in multiple languages — that can help you prepare your
business or property for the C
entral Corridor Light Rail Transit Line. Our goal is to help corridor
area businesses and property owners prepare
for the impact of Light Rail Transit, survive during
periods of construction, and thrive
after the line becomes operational in 2014.
Ready for Rail can help by providing:
-
-
-
Business consultants to help small business owners across the corridor improve
marketing, obtain training and technical advice, and identify sources of loans,
matching grants, and other financial assistance.
