Harrison said that many homeowners are also hesitant to sell, because they have good interest rates and don’t want to take on a higher rate. Looking ahead Beyond the work the Plano Works Leadership Foundation plans to do to help fill workforce gaps, the foundation will also provide resources for women-, minority- and veteran-owned small busi- nesses through the Plano United Business Program. Those resources include the chamber’s small busi- ness development center, chamber and business mentors and more. Marsalis said the chamber already has one cohort from the program and is working to launch a second as the foundation grows. “We’re looking at the businesses that are ready to take the next growth step but may have a challenge holding them back,” Marsalis said. “We can help them find the resources they need.” More information on the Plano Works Leadership Foundation can be found on the Plano Chamber of Commerce’s website.
