Welch emphasized the city’s commitment to inclusive growth. “Our city is home to several Black-owned businesses which help the local economy thrive; and to honor those businesses, we’re pleased to recognize August as National Black Business Month,” he said. He encouraged residents to shop local and support these businesses, noting that the city’s economic development efforts aim to create pathways for all residents to benefit from St. Pete’s progress.
