Small businesses that provide home repair, cleaning, landscaping, and painting have a new way to reach a larger base of residential and commercial clients: C’ville Central.  C’ville Central kicked off with a launch event Monday, April 8.

C’ville Central brings together small, women, and minority owned businesses with residential and commercial clients they may not otherwise reach.

“Our mission is to harness the region’s economic power and channel it to businesses in the Charlottesville region,” says C’ville Central co-founders Toan Nguyen and Betsy Patrick, who together own C’ville Coffee.

At the April 8 event, Toan Nguyen discussed the opportunities C’ville Central offers to qualified businesses and how they can increase their revenue as a member of C’ville Central. 

To celebrate this jumpstart for local business, officials including Charlottesville Mayor Satyendra Huja will be on hand along with Vice Mayor Kristin Szakos, Albemarle County Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Mallek, and Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce President Timothy Hulbert. “The support from throughout the city and county at all levels of government has been amazing,” Nguyen says.

Two Charlottesville Neighborhood Leadership Institute participants, Mary Alex and Amy Lemley, who lent expertise to the launch and related marketing and communications for C’ville Central along with Director of Communications Caroline Harris and videographer, Stacia Harris, from the Allora Group Productions, will also be on hand.
