*RIVERDALE PARK BUSINESS ASSOCIATION*

*Inspectors Speak To Area Businesses, Wednesday, May 8*



*Riverdale Park, MD, May 6, 2019 – *Every business operator knows that
before a business open, the owner’s wallet opens and their world and their
schedules are dominated by those who conduct inspections, and issue permits
and licenses. Businesses often travel through a regulatory maze that not
only confuses a seasoned business operator, but is hard-explained even by
the best regulators and elected officials who propose most of the rules of
the game.



Join the Riverdale Park Business Association on Wednesday, May 8 at Town
Hall (5008 Queensbury Road, RPMD, 20737) for the first of what certainly
will be an ongoing series of “Meet the Inspector.” RPBA Vice President *Michael
Herman, Esq*. has invited Town and County inspection representatives to
participate in RPBA’s monthly meeting intended to help business operators
understand what is expected of them while providing regulators an
opportunity to communicate what they need from business. RPBA’s 90-minute
meetings usually begin at 6 pm, but Riverdale Park has designated May 6-11
as “Economic Development Week” and business operators, investors and the
community is invited to a reception in Town Hall beginning at 5:30pm.
(Please RSVP to Director of Development Services *Kevin Simpson*
KSimpson at riverdaleparkmd.govby the close of business, Monday, May 6.



Chamber of Commerce President *David Harrington*is also expected to address
the meeting and Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., a DC-based non-profit
will unveil details of a business assessment study it is conducting in
Riverdale Park and greater Riverdale that intends to record the various
needs and challenges faced by area businesses.



*And now this special announcement from the Town of Riverdale Park…*



*Economic Development Week May 6 - 11th*



*Greetings Riverdale Park Businesses, Investors, and Organizations!*



The Town of Riverdale Park is celebrating *Economic Development Week*,
starting *May 6th – 11th*. Economic Development Week recognizes the
importance of business and investment in the community to create jobs,
improve quality of life, and generate wealth in the community.



In honor of Economic Development Week, the Town adopted a Proclamation at
the April 29th Work Session. Furthermore, the Town wishes to use this
opportunity to invite businesses, organizations, investors, and other
stakeholders to share their sentiments regarding economic development,
while introducing their business to the community. The Riverdale Park
Office of Development Services is seeking profiles from business,
organizations, investors, etc. to include on the Town’s outreach tools
(social media / website) during Economic Development Week. Simply provide a
brief profile, containing 100 words or less, explaining the history and
background of your business in Town, along with a statement to address the
question; “What does economic development mean to you?”



The first 10 individuals to respond to this request by Monday, May 6th will
be featured in the Town’s outreach tools during Economic Development Week.
If you have any questions about this endeavor, please feel free to contact
me.



Thank you for your investment!*– Kevin Simpson *
