Goal 5. A Community that Celebrates and Invites Diversity. <br />Foster a business community in Tukwila that welcomes and empowers residential and business diversity <br />in all its forms while capturing increased market share and building resilience to economic shocks. <br />Example actions: <br />• Celebrate Tukwila's diversity through targeted support, asset development, and <br />promotion. <br />• Highlight & promote a rotating roster of individual minority and immigrant -owned small <br />businesses in Tukwila's existing social media communications. <br />• Identify resources and support to continue to cultivate ethnic shopping districts, <br />including cuisine, and pursue recognition as a world-class street food destination. <br />• Survey minority and immigrant -owned small businesses to identify which culturally <br />relevant business services the City should provide to small business owners in Tukwila. <br />• Educate and connect minority and immigrant -owned businesses on the availability of <br />grant and low- to no -interest loan programs at local, state, and federal levels. <br />• Evaluate Tukwila's business license fee, business and occupations tax, development <br />impact fees and consider other revenue sources such as a transportation benefit district <br />to determine if the taxes and fees can be simplified and improved. <br />8 <br />
