Show More this is my video submission for the small business portion of the downtown project.

the downtown project's mission statement:

"We are a group of passionate people committed to helping to transform Downtown Las Vegas into the most community-focused large city in the world. We are doing that by inspiring and empowering people to follow their passions to create a vibrant, connected urban core. We've allocated $350 million to aid in the revitalization of Downtown Las Vegas. We're investing $200 million in real estate, $50 million in small businesses, $50 million in education, and $50 million in tech startups through the VegasTech Fund."

the downtown project aims to:

BRING TOGETHER COMMUNITIES OF PASSION.

Community development is more about the people than real estate, so physical spaces should reflect the community's values. By catalyzing community efforts, we hope to inspire people to follow their passions. And by doing so, we're helping to build the most community-focused large city in the world...in the city where you would least expect it.

ADD DENSITY OF GROUND LEVEL ACTIVITIES, SPACES, AND BUSINESSES.

Urban residential density of at least 100 people per acre combined with ground-level gathering places such as cafes, interesting small businesses, and public spaces increases economic output and happiness.

CREATE THE COWORKING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

We're working with communities including technology, fashion, music, art, and more. Bringing together passionate people with shared interests creates collaboration, innovation, opportunities to share resources, and accelerates learning.

CREATE THE SHIPPING CONTAINER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

Most urban revitalization efforts are centered in cities with vacant, crumbling buildings. Our Downtown doesn't have those. To quickly create spaces for new businesses here requires innovative thinking, so we're using repurposed shipping containers as places for entrepreneurs to follow their passions.

DO IT IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS.
