Cassandra Sanchez, the owner of Warren Street Multiservices, stated, “This was really instrumental to me, because when I bought this building, I pretty much put my life savings into it, and the roof wasn’t going to last as long as we thought it was. This came in handy because I was able to fix the roof.” She noted, “I wouldn’t have been able to do what I’m doing now, which is serving the community here, and it’s been really amazing.”

Sanchez then reflected on her time in the City of Trenton and what makes this community so special. She stated, “I’ve lived in 18 different cities growing up, I never knew who my mayor was. Never interacted with the mayor and never followed them on social media. The fact that you [Mayor Gusciora] are so physically accessible is really, really important for this community. Having this support from the TDA, and all of my friends downtown, all the businesses, has been really special. I feel very fortunate to have this type of support.” With opportunities available for every kind of entrepreneur, the City of Trenton is officially open for business.
