This proposal has been rejected because:

Rough cost estimate: Over $7.2 million
Evaluation notes:
✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.
✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction.
✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor.
❌ This idea would incur costs indefinitely.
Justification: Proposal already exist within OED with the Business Community Ownership funds, prioritizing BIPOC.
Other notes: OED Business Community Ownership Funds secures fixed, affordable rents for business owners. This financial stability keeps current neighborhood businesses in place and brings displaced business owners back to their communities.
