RESOLUTION DECLARING NOVEMBER 30, 2024
AS SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY IN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
WHEREAS, Hennepin County and Brooklyn Center celebrate our local small businesses and the
contributions they make to the local economy and community; according to the United States Census,
there are more than 39,200 small businesses with fewer than 100 employees in Hennepin County,
representing over 96 percent of businesses in the county; and

private organizations across the country have endorsed the Saturday after Thanksgiving as Small
Business Saturday; and
WHEREAS, Hennepin County has partnered with Brooklyn Center, several cities in the county and
the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to support Small Business Saturday with the
multijurisdictional Love Local campaign which encourages residents to support local, independently
owned businesses that create jobs, boost the local economy, and make our communities vibrant and
livable; and
WHEREAS, the quality and effectiveness of these facilities including their planning, design,
construction, operation and maintenance are vitally dependent upon the efforts and skill of Public Works
personnel.
NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, does hereby
proclaim November 30, 2024, Small Business Saturday and urges those who live and work in our
communities to support small businesses and merchants on Small Business Saturday and throughout
