Forward Ever envisions a thriving, collaborative community where local businesses are prosperous, and contribute to a healthy environment and the wealth and well-being of all citizens. We provide a forum for local, independently owned businesses that have the autonomy to make any transformational change in their business that they can imagine…reexamining where they buy their goods and services, how to consume energy and handle waste and recycling, grow and distribute our food, build homes, and even, how to define success in business. Forward Ever will support a community of innovators in green building, urban agriculture, renewable energy, support independent businesses in city centers, and mentor a new breed of entrepreneurs that have designed their business with a sustainable vision.
