Assessing Seedco’s Lower Manhattan Small Business & Workforce Retention Program
This report, prepared for Seedco by the National Community Capital Association (NCCA), with a preface by Seedco CEO, Bill Grinker, describes Seedco’s activities in Lower Manhattan after 9/11. The NCCA report highlights how a multi-pronged strategy can be effective in meeting the needs of small businesses. Seedco used wage subsidies along with loans, grants, and technical assistance to provide quick and essential aid to small firms. This combination of economic assistance and worker supports filled a vital gap in the economic assistance programs available after 9/11. Seedco played a major role as an economic recovery 'first responder,' a role no other organization was able to fill. Seedco believes that lessons learned from this approach can make the recovery efforts along the Gulf Coast more efficient and effective.
