The winning city will receive deluxe marketing services for small, local businesses along with strategic support and guidance from Robert Herjavec, a celebrity entrepreneur from the television series, Shark Tank. This money will also help revitalize public spaces and store fronts while helping reinvigorate and foster a sense of community.
