EO14377: Small Business Loan Rule & Local Permitting

Chickahominy Indian Tribe Native Plant Nursery Business Plan

• This project brings together market analysis of native plant species, strategies for economic vitality of selling native plants, and indigenous knowledge to formulate a business plan for the Chickahominy Tribe to establish a native plant nursery on Tribal lands as a source of economic development rooted in improving ecosystem health and overall environmental resilience. The plan can then be a catalyst for implementing the nursery and serve as a tangible reference point in securing future funding for the program.
