Accelerator brings opportunity to Walnut Hills

Woods said Mortar was developed to create opportunities for individuals "who normally don't experience the advantages of redevelopment projects" in their neighborhoods. Offering those advantages for another neighborhood that Mortar believes is underserved was the organization's intent and purpose in opening in Walnut Hills. "This means a lot to us and those people who will be able to plant their root for a month or two – to test out their ideas. We were following our dreams in developing the idea," Woods said, and this is an opportunity for blossoming entrepreneurs to develop their dreams, he said.
