SVEDA outlines business attraction, start-up and succession services to county commissioners
Summary
Kory Kaste briefed the board on Southern Valley Economic Development Authority programs including business attraction, Live Plan business-plan support, succession planning, and participation in the Community Venture Network; Kaste said a quarterly newsletter will begin sharing testimonials.
Kory Kaste told the Richland County commissioners that the Southern Valley Economic Development Authority (SVEDA) assists with business attraction, start-up development, succession planning and state referrals for companies seeking sites and utilities.
"SVEDA works to bring new businesses to the region by marketing the region, talking about workforce and affordable land," Kaste said, and described SVEDA's Live Plan program to help entrepreneurs build viable business plans. He noted SVEDA attends the Community Venture Network three times a year to connect rural communities with businesses looking to expand, and that the organization has launched a quarterly newsletter with testimonials.
Commissioners did not take an action item on SVEDA's update; the briefing provided context for ongoing economic development and upcoming housing projects discussed in JDA/JPA reports.
