increase over the size of our existing 1,200 sq. ft office where we currently operate from. This expansion would be a massive undertaking for us. The entire 5,000 square foot facility will be 100% integrated into fully operating and supporting Kadri Law’s Startup Central Business Incubator Ecosystem for Entrepreneurs launching their businesses here in Windsor. All 4 corners of this proposed facility and everything in between will be deployed to offer designated space for furnished office units, boardrooms, conference and war rooms, and all the support services and professional services to be provided as part of Startup Central. Based upon our discussions during pre-consultation, I am requesting the entire area of the proposed new facility to be included in the calculation of eligible CIP financial incentives. The attached floor plan and this submission will seek to address the nature and extent of our fully integrated operations we are proposing to mobilize within this proposed dynamic new facility.

WHY KADRI LAW’S PROPOSED INVESTMENT IS IMPORTANT TO THE CITY OF WINDSOR

Entrepreneurs and small business owners are, in many ways, an embodiment of the spirit and determination that built this great country. They can certainly help lead our city's recovery post COVID19. The more entrepreneurs we attract to the city, the more we diversify and strengthen the backbone of our economy. Among other things, Kadri Law will offer flexible and affordable furnished office spaces to nurture new business while providing on-site access to the critical business support, resources, and service needed to launch and grow new business.

This proposed new facility will act as a truly unique ecosystem for entrepreneurs who are critical to our local economy. As they succeed, they will create jobs and wealth for the residents of Windsor and the surrounding communities. This proposed new facility will offer everything they need to grow and expand in Windsor as Kadri Law's Startup central will seek to acclimate new entrepreneurs to the tremendous entrepreneurial climate in our city.

Our unique and functional workspaces are specifically designed to enable acceleration and growth. Accessibility to on-site management training, mentorship programs, and workshops for entrepreneurs will make our proposed facility truly unique and dynamic. At Kadri Law, we believe our proposed new facility will offer a truly collaborative environment while giving young entrepreneurs new to our city access to our network of leading professionals while connecting them to the brilliance of Windsor and all that it has to offer.

KADRI LAW’S PROPOSED INVESTMENT WILL ALSO PROVIDE A UNIQUE FOCUS ON WOMEN AND MINORITY ENTREPRENEURS

We are presently working with more and more women and minority entrepreneurs who would greatly benefit from our proposed investment at 1567 Ouellette Ave.

We recognize the exceptional potential in women and minority entrepreneurs, but also recognize the obstacles they face as a result of racial, gender, or geographic inequalities. We have developed relationships within our network of leading professionals to provide business incubator services that focus on minorities and women with the entrepreneurial spirit and drive but who need the support and the opportunities they rightfully deserve.

Women and minority entrepreneurs have significant potential and if given the opportunity they can contribute to the revitalization of our community and the kind of economic diversification we need as a region to truly thrive. They deserve equal opportunity to pursue their dreams of
