Middle Village Micro Market
Middle Village Micro Market is a business incubator program sponsored by Downtown Lansing Inc. and powered by Lake Trust Credit Union. Middle Village Micro Market is a yearlong program that supports 6-8 unique retailers as they receive business programming and marketing support while they grow their brand, build their customer base, and test the market.
Downtown Lansing Inc. hopes to lower barriers to entrepreneurship by focusing on women and minority-owned businesses as we build a downtown that represents all the citizens of Lansing.
