(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The City of Colorado Springs is launching a new website to help honor the city's strong military community and highlight small businesses. The Military Welcome program webpage will serve as a centralized online directory where military personnel can find businesses offering discounts and special offers. The city said businesses that register to be a part of the program can showcase their support for service members and their families while getting valuable exposure. “We know many businesses already offer military discounts, but this webpage provides a centralized platform to promote those offers and reach a wider audience within the military community,” said Small Business Development Administrator Shakanah Tedder. “The website will be a free and easy way to increase visibility and attract those new customers. We also hope that by connecting servicemembers with local businesses, we can help encourage community-building and create a network of support and unity within the City.” Businesses that register for the Military Welcome program will get an email and display a decal, showing their commitment to the local community. Registration can be completed on the City's website.
