Commercial revitalizations can place a burden on small businesses. During the construction phase, businesses can experience regular disruptions. After construction, they can experience rent increases due to the improvements in the surrounding area. To help small businesses weather the revitalization of Middlefield Road in North Fair Oaks, we partnered with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, NFO Forward, and Small Businesses Development Center to provide legal and technical assistance to small businesses located in that area. Around eight small businesses participated in commercial and employment law and marketing workshops and received one-on-one legal consultations. Legal support is helping small business owners to revise their lease to ensure the terms are favorable to both the landlords and business owners. A healthy community includes a robust local economy with thriving local, small businesses.
