MM-ECM Community Business Project

We were overjoyed by the intellects that were presented to us in these three young people... They challenged our thinking... They did a great job of telling us what was, they did a great job of telling us what is possible, and they gave us great feedback on the kinds of cautions we need to have as we move forward.
