Spring Fest!
Having a festival or fair in one of the bigger public parks in Ralston with only local business owners as vendors could generate a ton of business and social capital! The tickets for this fair should be very affordable, somewhere around $5, and the majority of the money will be made via a raffle where the local business owners create a basket or coupons that can be raffled off. Creating a business can be hard, so I believe the city should focus on supporting the local businesses already in the city. Making them the only vendors allowed will significantly increase their chances of making a profit. Social capital is definitely the weakest in Ward 1 so advertising there should be drastically increased so that they will come and hopefully meet other people from Ward 1 and form connections with them.
