*As of 11/17/2022 we had to change the meeting venue from Portico Eritrean and Ethiopian Restaurant, Bar and Patio Hookah to Nile Ethiopian Restaurant

Unfortunately the Portico restaurant recently had a fire on the roof due to a roof contractor’s error. The restaurant is currently closed, but the owner is hoping to have the repairs completed by February 2023. We hope to host a future networking or outreach event at Portico in 2023. 

This meeting is being scheduled to discuss ideas to reduce retail theft, property crimes and allow businesses to share their challenges with crime.

This meeting will host local retail outlets and businesses in Aurora, CO.

Complimentary African appetizers, beef sambusa, lentil sambusa, spinach sambusa, vegetarian combo platters and beverages will be provided by the Havana Business Improvement District. RSVP REQUIRED TO ATTEND. 

The city of Aurora would like to hear more from retailers and shopping centers in Aurora on the new on-going challenges with crime, workforce, and their experiences on navigating the recovery of COVID-19.
