HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?
We measure success based on fair out-
comes, not fair processes. We focus on
reducing the gender and racial wealth
gap in Macon-Bibb. We work with real
estate developers and entrepreneurs
who cannot access traditional financing
and provide them the coaching, funding
and capital they need to improve prop-
erties, grow sustainable businesses and
transform neighborhoods.
WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR WOMEN
WHO WANT TO START A BUSINESS?
Take advantage of the many business
resources and coaching available
in Central Georgia. NewTown Loans
offers group training courses, like
our Entrepreneur's Academy and the
Downtown Diversity Initiative, that
allow participants to network with a
cohort of like-minded entrepreneurs.
We also offer free monthly webinars that
cover topics like marketing, accounting
software and other best practices for
building a successful and sustainable
business.
IN FIVE YEARS, WE: Will be thrilled to
share the success of our 2022-2027
strategic plan. Our new strategic plan
will launch this summer. In five years, we
hope downtown Macon will be more in-
clusive, equitable and vibrant than ever.
