Summary
Hillsboro renewed its annual MOU with Taber College to support the Central Kansas Entrepreneurship Center (CCEC) for another year, continuing a $30,000-per-year contribution that staff said is drawn from the industrial fund and built into the budget.
The council voted to renew the memorandum of understanding with Taber College for the Central Kansas Entrepreneurship Center (CCEC) for the 2025–26 academic year, continuing the city’s annual $30,000 contribution. Staff said the funding comes from the industrial fund and is already factored into the budget.
Staff described outcomes from the partnership, including youth entrepreneurship challenges, startup development assistance (helping six people, four Tabor students and two community members with business plans) and public workshops. Council members asked for a concise list of businesses that have spun out of the program for future evaluation; staff said Taber can provide data subject to confidentiality constraints.
