Join us on February 24 as we dive into entrepreneurship, small business development, and how both are reigniting small-town economies.
Rural communities are in the perfect position to cultivate business from within.
More than 70 percent of a community’s small businesses – from retailers to manufacturers – are launched by existing residents. In other words, people who currently live in the community and were not recruited or incentivized to move their business there – entrepreneurs that already call your community home. How many future business owners are waiting?
