Mountain View Economic Development

🛒 July is Independent Retailer Month! We're celebrating all of our local shops that make Mountain View special. From bookstores to boutiques or coffee shops, independent businesses bring charm, community and one-of-a-kind goods to the City.

✨ When you shop local, you’re not just buying a product – you’re supporting a dream and investing in our city’s vibrancy.

💼🤝🏽 Thought that only small businesses had a day? Well, for all of our micro to medium sized businesses, today is your day! June 27th is the United Nation’s Annual Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day.

The UN General Assembly designated today as MSME day to raise awareness about these businesses' contributions to our world. These businesses account for 90% of businesses, 60 to 70% of employment and 50% of GDP worldwide.

There is still time to join our cohort of Founding Vendors for the Makers Market this Fall! Applications are due on June 24th, so don't delay. Visit our website and apply TODAY!
