Director outlines upcoming groundbreaking, workshop and website updates; flags insurance increase
Summary
The director reported a cold-storage groundbreaking Oct. 22 and a small-business workshop Oct. 28 with UTRGV SBDC, announced website upgrades including an online public information request form and online grant applications, and noted the board's insurance premium rose from $47,000 to $60,000.
At the South Carolina Economic Development Board of Directors meeting the director reported three administrative updates: an Oct. 22 groundbreaking for a cold storage produce facility on Stewart Road, a first-ever small-business workshop scheduled Oct. 28 from 10 a.m. to noon in collaboration with the UTRGV Small Business Development Center, and new website features that allow online public information requests and online submission of membership, incentives and grant applications.
The director said completed online forms can be downloaded as PDFs and that the site supports DocuSign for signatures. Staff confirmed membership information and incentive and grant application forms are now active and available online.
Separately, the director told the board the organization’s insurance premium had increased from about $47,000 previously to roughly $60,000 for the current period. The record shows the increase but does not include additional details such as insurer name, policy period or reason for the rise.
Board members asked about outreach and social-media promotion for the small-business workshop; staff said printed flyers, social media posts and the website will be used. The director indicated the workshop flyer lists session topics and that staff expects a good turnout.
