Showcase Your Business ... Host A NKCBC Friday Coffee Event! |
|
It's a new year and a great time to take advantage of one of the many benefits of North Kansas City Business Council membership by hosting a monthly NKCBC Friday Coffee event. The monthly coffees are a popular networking event for NKCBC members, elected officials, and other NKC businesses and organizations.
Following are just a few reasons to host an event:
- New to the North Kansas City Business Community? Introduce your business and "get connected"!
- Been around for a while? Reintroduce your business and engage attendees in an activity or provide a demonstration to showcase and reacquaint everyone with your products or services
- Made renovations, relocated, or undergone a major expansion? Provide a tour and tell us all about it!
- Is your business celebrating a significant anniversary or reaching some other major milestone? Let us help you celebrate and spread the word!
- Just like coffee and donuts and some great conversation? We do too!
No matter the reason, hosting a NKCBC Friday Coffee event is an opportunity to promote your
|
|
business and let people know who you are and what you do, introduce staff, and share details about any special projects, new initiatives, or future plans that may be "in the works". You'll make a long-lasting impression on attendees and generate meaningful "word of mouth" promotion and awareness of your business or organization long after the event.
The coffees are generally held on the 1st Friday of the month, however a few will be held on the 2nd Friday due to scheduling conflicts. The following dates are available:
February 4
March 4
April 1
June 10 (Second Friday)
July 8 (Second Friday)
August 5
September 9 (Second Friday)
October 7
November 4

NKC Streetscape Beautification Grant Program |
Each spring, the city's grant program provides matching funds for beautification projects with proposals ranging from $50 - $5,000 located within the City’s street or highway rights-of-way. The city offers matching grants paid on a reimbursable basis. All projects need to be long-term and require the property owner to be responsible for the perpetual maintenance of the streetscape improvements funded through the program.
Examples of eligible projects include raised planters for flower beds, shrubbery, and other plantings, ornamental tree and shrub plantings, irrigation system for landscape improvements, pedestrian walkway improvements, large scale street side cleanup projects, professional landscape planning and design work, and other beautification projects in public spaces.
The next grant offering is expected to post in March with application instructions.
