Regarding Local Business in the Dupont/Bloor West Communities
If you have a small local business, a home business or want to start a new business, the city of Toronto has information that may help.

Along with the decline of the neighbourhood’s industrial base we will also see more lost commercial space and related jobs with the redevelopment of the Galleria Mall. We already have high unemployment in the area and need new local businesses to develop to help keep our communities vital.
We do not want our neighbourhood to become a bedroom community with everyone driving out of the area to go to work with few services and little commercial local life.
The re-development of the Galleria site will offer some level of commercial spaces, perhaps 1/4 – 1/3 of what is there now. It would be helpful if local residents, business and perhaps potential new businesses started to think about possibilities for the site and/or ways to influence the kind of commercial activity needed at the redevelopment. The redevelopment planners have offered a community space of 2000 square feet for local projects. One idea is a local business incubator that might help develop and launch new small local businesses.
