Nufocused is nfx

NuFocusedX LLC (NFX) is a Virginia 501c3 Non-Profit Corporation formed in 2020, that operates programs in Commercial Workforce and Economic Development, Housing, Planning and Environmental Affairs, Finance, Public Relations, and Community Services from the Historic Gainsboro District of Roanoke, VA. NFX is currently involved with several areas of community economic development. These include the introduction of internet-based systems to reach a broader audience for exposure of businesses and community initiatives, a fresh food location and incentives for community farming in a designated food desert, support for start-up businesses handling the virtual learning requirements of Roanoke City Public Schools, live entertainment and commerce on Henry St including the Historic Dumas Hotel, as well as other business assistance and social activities prior to and throughout the pandemic of COVID-19.

Since February 2013, NuFocus Group LLC (NFG), led by its owner and Chief Executive Officer Tommy Page, has provided a platform for many businesses operating out of the Roanoke MSA to be seen in the global marketplace. NFG operated Focused Radio (online radio station with its own app), The Focus Magazine (online digital magazine with hyperlinks to increase shopping) and NFETv (online web shows and original visual digital media content) that became conduits for businesses of Roanoke to increase their visibility beyond the parameters of local network television and other current media channels. This also provided a spark of new activity for business enterprise from the Historic Gainsboro area which was the hub of minority opportunity for prosperity in Southwest VA from the 1920’s up until the devastations of Urban Renewal of the 1960’s and current seat of the vision for a New Gainsboro Business Corridor.
Tommy Page has converted the business strategies and his success in small business, non-profit organizations, as an independent artist and all other entrepreneurship ventures of NFG to perform community action initiatives that includes resource allocation, fundraising, and ownership (home/business) creation by training the local and virtual community through a newly formed nonprofit NFX.
Using innovative strategies of the bigger metropolitan areas NFG has operated in and is still connected to such as Virginia Beach, Richmond, Philadelphia, NYC, Washington DC, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Miami, NFX has already added revenue generating mechanisms to the smaller Roanoke Valley. This sustainable Black and Disabled Veteran owned business has shown promise to produce immediate results of economic development, jobs, and vibrancy which will continue to add to the overall goal of Roanoke City to bring tourism, community engagement, and business revenue.

NFX Mission Statement
We are a solution-based company that works with Small to Intermediate Business Owners, Non-Profit Organizations, Independent Artists and all other entrepreneurs to identify the most effective and efficient business structure while finding support and resources from utilizing our network for their business idea. We work together to see what really suits you. Not to work for us, but an independent venture of your own that We support with our resources to assist all parties involved to be successful.

NFX has attacked the simply complex task of solving problems and fixing issues within the low performing Gainsboro District Village center. In order to be effective and efficient, NFX developed two separate project coordination teams within the organization. Knowing the need for trained workforce participants and financial resources to entrepreneurs with the focus on community development would require cooperation between new businesses coming to and the seasoned ones that had already been operating in Gainsboro. The Justice Business Ecosystem Center (JustBE or JBEC) and the Take Back Our Yard Foundation (TBOYF) has worked simultaneously to prepare NFX for maximum success going forth.
