IMMIGRANT ENTREPRENEURS not only contribute to large innovative companies, but to small business formation in local communities. In cities across Arizona, immigrant family- owned small businesses contribute to the vitality of their local communities. Although initially aimed at other immigrant customers, many businesses quickly see an expansion of their clientele to include a diverse array of immigrant and native-born customers alike.
