# Event Details - **Event Name**: Rooted Policy Labs | Savannah, GA - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Producing city-specific, actionable policy and practice recommendations that prevent the displacement of Black-owned businesses.About this EventThe Rooted Policy Lab: Keeping Black Businesses in Place — hosted by Kindred Futures and the Greater Savannah Black Chamber of Commerce — produces Greater Savannah–specific, actionable policy and practice recommendations that protect legacy businesses and open pathways for new entrepreneurs to launch and grow storefronts. The lab brings together entrepreneurs, real estate developers, capital providers, policymakers, and advocates to improve commercial affordability, expand community ownership, build pathways from leasing to ownership, and strengthen local capacity to advance those solutions.The Rooted Lab focuses on commercial corridors facing structural change — where public investment, zoning shifts, redevelopment, and infrastructure decisions are reshaping who can stay, who can launch, and who gets priced out. Revitalization that does not protect what is rooted, or make room for what is coming next, repeats the displacement patterns of the past.Using localized data and real-time scenario modeling, the lab produces strategies with cross-sector stakeholders and culminates in a short policy brief with follow-up support to carry the work forward.What participants take awayFirst access to a new data dashboard tracking small business and commercial real estate trends across SavannahA co-developed brief capturing the policy and practice solutions that emerge from the labA working network of business owners, capital partners, policymakers, and community advocates with shared language and aligned strategyBreakfast and lunch will be provided. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/866fbe00-a1a2-11f1-a977-99d1d33e99bd-rimg-w758-h740-dc5888c8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/868011b0-a1a2-11f1-a977-99d1d33e99bd-rimg-w1116-h740-dcb8d8e8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/86908c70-a1a2-11f1-a977-99d1d33e99bd-rimg-w1200-h675-dcd8d8e8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/savannah/rooted-policy-labs-savannah-ga/100001997278094546 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 6 hours - Location: Savannah State University - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Savannah - **state**: GA - **country**: United States - **location**: Savannah State University - **lat**: 32.0241968 - **long**: -81.0625787 - **full address**: Savannah State University, 3219 College Street, Savannah, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Rooted Policy Labs | Savannah, GA - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/99b8db9b742b2232cd5f227fb3147368e04736d436a2bb7089aaff44102af3f6-rimg-w1200-h600-dc181818-gmir.jpg?v=1786807267 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Rooted Policy Labs | Savannah, GA being held? - **A:** Rooted Policy Labs | Savannah, GA takes place on Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am to Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Savannah State University, 3219 College Street, Savannah, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Rooted Policy Labs | Savannah, GA? - **A:** Rooted Policy Labs | Savannah, GA is organized by Atlanta Wealth Building Intiative. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
