A new partnership between the Topeka Housing Authority and the Greater Topeka Foundation will help Topekans in the Pine Ridge community in southeast community. The two organizations on Friday afternoon held a ribbon-cutting for the Topeka Housing Authority Empowerment Center, a business incubator in a renovated former lawn mower maintenance building next to Pine Ridge Partnership. Four businesses — Sheena Simms' Tutus and Tennis Shoes Daycare, Heather Crowley's Scrumptious Sweets bakery, Nakeisha Bryant's Kidz Trapp mobile entertainment service and Mario Wright's home repair and handyman service — will anchor the business incubator to start. As those businesses become successful and eventually find their own spaces, other members of the community will be able to start their own businesses in the incubator space.
