Brookfield Properties has launched a program in the Southeast region of the United States to provide assistance to minority-owned businesses through funding, resources and retail expertise.
The Partner to Empower program is a resource designed to help underserved communities grow their business with a brick-and-mortar location at Pecanland Mall. While the Monroe branch of the program will focus on Black-owned businesses, all minority groups are welcome and encouraged to apply.
Brookfield Properties, which operates Pecanland Mall as well as four other malls in the state, has committed to investing up to $25 million in the Partner to Empower program over the next five years, dedicated to the many costs of building out a store. In addition, both business and industry experts will be available to support program participants throughout the partnership. Brookfield Properties hopes to assist 250 minority-owned businesses open by 2025.
