Small Business Week in Richmond: Celebrating Local Entrepreneurs
The City of Richmond’s Economic Development Department hosted Small Business Week from May 5–10, 2025, highlighting the vital role that local entrepreneurs play in strengthening the city’s economy. Throughout the week, a series of events brought together business owners, community partners, and local leaders to exchange ideas and foster collaboration. On May 6, Richmond Main Street Initiative (RMSI) partnered with the City’s Economic Development Department and the Richmond Chamber of Commerce to focus on downtown businesses. Together, they hosted a Small Business Forum at the RMSI office—an engaging session designed to better understand the challenges small business owners face, share insights, and explore strategies to support business growth and sustainability in the Richmond community.
