Grow Gary 2.0 31st May 2020 OVERVIEW Gary needs to grow from within. We need to grow teachers, civil servants, business owners, construction workers, real estate investors, farmers, manufacturers, distribution centers, warehouses with truck level docks, and workers to run all of these self-sustaining vital industries. Creating a pathway to success will take reimagining our education, training and work systems. Gary was once the example of an innovative education system. We can be a great example again for the future. Our goal will be to create a curriculum that students can elect to take from 6th grade 12th grade. We need product development classes. Where they learn about plant life and the health benefits of plant based products and foods to help solve our health disparities. They can learn how to manufacture, warehouse and distribute new products. We need civil servant classes learning how to govern. We know the current education system has failed to educate and prepare our children for a promising future. We also know it is now more than ever necessary that we create and implement curriculum that will not only benefit our students but will grow our city. Our goal should be to grow businesses by seeding/teaching and training, planting with business incubators, fertilizing with micro business loans, and cultivate with ongoing classes, opportunities to expand in Gary and building networks for distribution.
GOALS 1.
Grow Gary based businesses so the city and citizens have quick and easy access to local based businesses
2. Grow students with targeted curriculum and hands on training programs to fill vital positions within the city by working with the GCSC
