The purpose of the Business Council is to identify and promote types of economic development in Ave Maria which are most consistent with its original plan and with its being a university town.  Over time the Business Council aims to work with Ave Maria Development and local government to put in place specific economic incentives for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and telecommuters to relocate to Ave Maria — on account of its community life, its beauty, its appeal for raising a family, and its suitability for doing business.

Dr. Pakaluk asks all interested residents to contact him at info@avemariacommunityalliance.org.  He particularly welcomes the participation of retired residents of Dell Webb and Bellera.  “There are lots of programs where retired businesspersons contribute their expertise to help the local community.   Retirees who serve on the Business Council can have confidence that their efforts will contribute to a successful and flourishing Ave Maria community for generations to come.”
