August 19, 2025, Sidewayz Sports Bar & Grill filled up, as Councilman Cory Penn hosted a Small Business Forum for entrepreneurs and creatives.
This event gave opportunities for small business owners to directly connect with Penn and share thoughts and concerns ahead of the August 26th election.
It was not just a campaign event, but a forum that offered a space to connect, exchange ideas, and build connections with like-minded individuals.
This forum highlighted Penn’s commitment to transparency and support for local business startups.
Councilman Penn, who is running for re-election in District 1, has emphasized economic growth, safer neighborhoods, and community partnerships, among other agendas, as a means for progress.
For residents and entrepreneurs, this event was another chance to have their say in the future of District 1 and the City of Mobile.
