Annapolis mayoral candidates talk parking, safety and small businesses

The Capital Gazette published an article about the Historic Annapolis Forum. "Littmann said he wants to hold focus groups and networking events to help owners learn about available resources, and he proposed creating a 'business navigator' position to help small businesses.

'Let’s look at other jurisdictions that do this much better. We don’t need to re-create the wheel,' Littmann said. Some counties in Maryland, such as Montgomery and Harford, have business navigators.

Littmann grew up in New Jersey and has lived in Annapolis since 2010. He won a seat representing Ward 5 in 2013 and served one term. He and his wife own K&B Ace Hardware on Forest Drive, and he argues that experience will help him support small businesses and run the city.

'We know that managing people is a lot of effort and takes a lot of hard work, and I have the experience doing that, bringing your people along with you, motivating them, encouraging them, retaining the good ones,' Littmann said in his opening statement."
