The community is poised to address issues related to disparities in access and quality of banking & lending options and solutions for African Americans in North Minneapolis in particular. This project seeks to understand the dynamics of barriers, assets, and potential solutions related to banking and lending specifically for African American-owned small businesses in North Minneapolis. In assessing this issue, the Capstone team and community partners hope this will be the starting point in a collaborative effort including the banking & business community to address some of the issues raised in this research project.
