Gwinnett County is on the cusp of something markedly refreshing for its small business community, thanks to District 4 Commissioner Matthew Holtkamp. Kicking off on Monday at Reveille Café, "Local Voices, Local Places" is Holtkamp's initiative designed to spotlight the small businesses that give the county its distinctive character. The series will start with a morning meet and greet, scheduled from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., inviting residents to engage over breakfast in relaxed conversation with Commissioner Holtkamp.
The commissioner, who doubles as a small business owner, expressed a strong inclination to foster a deeper bond with the people he serves. "As a small business owner myself, I understand how important it is to stay connected with the people you serve," Holtkamp proclaimed, in a statement obtained by Gwinnett County News and Events. With this endeavor, he's not only highlighting the local businesses but also opening doors for conversation on what residents find important.
There's more in the pipeline following the inaugural breakfast event. Future activities of the series are slated to include tours, as well as conversations with business owners, amplifying their stories across various County platforms. A spotlight on these small businesses could mean everything for their continued success and vitality in the area. Reveille Café, home to the series' first stop, is nestled comfortably at 5885 Cumming Hwy NE in Sugar Hill, an address that's soon to see increased foot traffic and local chatter.
Holtkamp's "Local Voices, Local Places" is a clear signal of his dedication to the local economy's grassroots – the small businesses. It is designed to not only strengthen connections between residents and the county's commercial offerings but also celebrate the individuals who run them.
