The Belhaven business community is critical to the infrastructure of our neighborhood. This year we are excited to launch our Belhaven Business Coalition (BBC), an initiative focused on you and your needs as business owners and operators within the Greater Belhaven Foundation footprint. The focus of this initiative is building on the work of GBF board member John Scarbrough and the High Street Business District by organizing business owners in an effort to liaison collective struggles and concerns to advocates and lawmakers. The Greater Belhaven Foundation (GBF) wants to support you and work to make conditions in our neighborhood the best they can be in order to recruit, retain, and support businesses. Request Zoom call information by emailing info@greaterbelhaven.com.
