You can find a list of Mayor Rachel Proctor’s  progress they’ve made in the community on the website, highlighting areas: Community and Partnerships, Public Safety, Economic Development and other progress like continuing to work with STAR Transit to provide transportation services for residents; where Council approved restructuring the City’s fixed-route bus system to a new same-day, on-demand system that functions similar to a shared Uber experience.

 

Rachel Proctor is the Owner and Administrative Director of the Neighborhood Christian Learning Center of Dallas, Inc (NCLC), which has been owned and operated by Rachel’s family for nearly 30 years.

 

In 2016, she launched a boutique business education firm, RLPI, which helps people turn ideas into successful online businesses. She’s a self-proclaimed market research junkie, who has also hit seven-figure sales marks as she’s built a versatile and trusted learning resource hub for aspiring and successful business owners alike. Dedicated to equipping entrepreneurs with the skills needed for success, Rachel provides free business training on concepts including branding, budgeting, profitability, productivity, and more.

 

In 2017, Rachel was instrumental in the conceptualization and presentation of the idea for the “Grow DeSoto Marketplace“, a business incubator within the city that provides affordable rents, business mentoring, and support for small business start-ups.  Had it not been for leadership coming together during that time to think outside of the box, the space, which used to be an Ace Hardware Store, would have become a dollar store. The ultimate goal of providing the opportunity is to lower the barriers to entry for new entrepreneurs as well as provide them with business education and support to be able to move out of the incubator within 2 years and into a brick-and-mortar space within the city of DeSoto according to Rachel for Desoto website.
