The city of Avondale is buzzing with activities dedicated to celebrating Economic Development, Tourism, and Small Business throughout May, as proclaimed by Mayor Kenn Weise. The city has launched a month-long campaign to feature free tools and spotlight local entrepreneurs across social media under the umbrella of Avondale EDGE.

During Economic Development Week, which runs from May 6-10, residents can expect to quickly learn about impactful economic development programs through Avondale EDGE's work on platforms including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more. This effort falls in line with the global recognition of such initiatives, aimed to bolster the city's business climate and, ultimately, the well-being of its community.

Avondale is also leveraging National Travel and Tourism Week from May 19-25 to emphasize its attractive offerings for over a million tourists who visited in 2023. The city aims to continue growing as a top destination through Discover Avondale, its Destination Marketing Organization focused on promoting the city's economic and cultural appeal.

Moreover, the entire month is dedicated to Small Business Month, with Avondale EDGE providing a business toolkit featuring free resources like HUUB and Size Up, designed to better establish and expand local businesses. This initiative covers partnerships with organizations such as the Arizona Small Business Association and local resources like Growth Partners Arizona, to support the diverse entrepreneurial scene in Avondale.

Avondale's plans for a month brimming with economic and community growth initiatives underscores the administration's commitment to nurturing the local economy, tourism, and small business. This fervent dedication surely aims to not only uplift Avondale's economy but also to celebrate the spirit and determination of its small business owners and their influence on the local community.
