AN EVENING OF RESOURCE EXCHANGE
with MAD and the Midtown Business Alliance

On Friday, April 14th from 5-7pm, the Kingston Midtown Arts District and the Midtown Business Alliance invites interested local businesses and artists to learn more about Midtown-centric business resources and opportunities. This casual evening is a chance to learn a bit about the work of the Midtown Arts District and the Midtown Business Alliance and its membership.

Stop by during the first hour to talk with representatives from Rondout Savings Bank about the newly formed Midtown Business Capital Loan Program, designed to support loan affordability and access with affordable interest rates and in-person support. Folks from Hudson Valley Current will also be available to learn more about alternative currency and their other economic development initiatives.

Feel free to share the resources you know, that could be helpful to others in the Midtown community. Bilingual support will be available and provided by the Language Justice Collective.

This event will be at D.R.A.W. located at Energy Square at the corner of 20 Cedar St and Iwo Jima Lane in the heart of Midtown.
