More than 150 of Gainesville’s Black-owned businesses will be listed in the Newtown Florist Club’s annual Black Business and Community Resource Directory due out the week of March 15.
The directory features the breadth and depth of Black enterprise in the city and highlights everything from brand-new businesses to those around for decades. It also includes businesses that closed their doors.
