In a case study of Wheaton, Maryland, the Latino Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) was hired to provide technical assistance to help small businesses adjust to redevelopment. This led to the formation of the Coalition for Fair Redevelopment of Wheaton, which advocated for a small business assistance program. Council vice president Nancy Navarro introduced Bill 6-12 to establish the program, which provided grants up to $75,000 to offset increased rent burdens for affected small businesses (Coalition for Fair Redevelopment of Wheaton, 7).
