In response to this article on elevator construction, regulation, labor, and immigration, I believe a viable solution lies in a business model that leverages the strengths of a 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) designated 501c3 organization in conjunction with a benefit elevator company. Our nonprofit Emi's Elevator, which is the majority owner of Nokes Mountain Elevator Company, aims to address these issues by creating Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned (SWAM) businesses and job opportunities through targeted apprenticeship programs. Our mission focuses specifically on public, low-income, and subsidized housing sectors, where there is a significant need for the maintenance, servicing, modernization, and new installation of elevator infrastructure. By prioritizing the creation of skilled jobs and fostering entrepreneurship within these underserved housing communities, we can alleviate labor shortages and contribute to economic development. Our approach ensures that workers receive the necessary training and support, promoting a sustainable workforce equipped to meet the demands of the elevator industry. In addition to our focus on housing, we also address elevator infrastructure needs in public facilities, including military bases, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and other essential public institutions. Ensuring reliable and efficient elevator systems in these facilities not only improves operational efficiency and safety but also supports the well-being of the communities they serve. Moreover, by focusing on the maintenance and modernization of elevator infrastructure in public and subsidized housing, we can contribute to lowering housing costs. Efficient and reliable elevator systems reduce the overall maintenance costs for housing authorities, which can translate into lower rents and fees for residents. Additionally, by creating job opportunities and fostering economic growth within these communities, we help residents achieve financial stability, further reducing the economic pressures associated with housing costs. Through this integrated business model, we not only enhance the quality and safety of elevator systems in both housing and public facilities but also drive social impact by empowering marginalized groups, fostering community resilience, and contributing to more affordable housing and better public services.

Here's another #econdev national media hit tip: If your city is lucky enough like Rockford and my friend John Groh to get a stellar national print placement, you leverage the heck out of it to different media who aren't competitors. Broadcast segments and podcasts will use the national print media headlines as news and will want to speak to your local spokespeople about the reason WHY behind the ranking. So how do you elevate these stories? ⏩ Make sure you pitch quickly so the fervor doesn't die down ⏩ Dive into the process, not the product. Tell the reporters why and how the story came to be so you can share additional insight. ⏩ Be aware of which publications and outlets are friendlies so you don't run into issues with competition. ⏩ Collect b-roll, still photography and headshots to ensure you have additional content to provide ⏩ Continue to celebrate the story locally so residents and stakeholders see how much of an impact the headline had. John, it was such an honor working with you on this piece. Rockford has always had a special place in my heart and to see national headlines and stories cover what I've known about the city for a long time is seriously why I'm in this business. #economicdevelopment
