The Homestretch
The West Side Bazaar is a magnet for locals and tourists from around the region.
Through a range of educational and financial resources, WEDI removes systemic barriers to give everyone a level playing field. With start-up loans to help entrepreneurs launch their businesses, to marketing and business training, to incubating in the West Side Bazaar, WEDI ensures Equity and Inclusion start right here: the New WSB at 1432 Niagara Street.
