Sheelytown Cooperative
Building Businesses, Empowering Communities
You are Invited!
We are excited to invite you to be part of an extraordinary initiative that will transform the Sheelytown neighborhood while helping local businesses grow and thrive. Our goal is to develop new commercial properties that will provide local businesses like with subsidized financing and the opportunity to own the spaces where you operate, keeping investment and value within our community.
The Cooperative will initially focus on applications from construction, manufacturing, and similar trades and other small businesses, although all are invited to apply.
Please complete a Letter of Interest to explore becoming part of the Sheelytown Cooperative. Membership for this phase is only open for a short time and space is extremely limited, so interested parties are encouraged to submit their Letter of Interest as soon as possible. Once we have reviewed your Letter of Interest, we will provide you with additional information and application materials. Thank you for your interest and support.
