County explores hosting Small Business Development Center to support entrepreneurs
Summary
Staff told the EDIF board the county has seen increased inquiries from small businesses and is exploring hosting the Small Business Development Center onsite to provide local support to entrepreneurs.
Heather Tinelli and Debbie Gill told the EDIF board that the county has seen an increase in inquiries from service-based small businesses seeking to start locally. In response, staff said the county is exploring hosting a Small Business Development Center (SBDC) onsite in the economic development office to provide technical assistance and resources.
Board members discussed the idea as a way to support entrepreneur recruitment and retention; no formal commitment or funding decision was made at the March 2 meeting. Staff said they will evaluate space and partnership logistics and report back when more details are available.
The proposal is part of broader efforts to strengthen the county's small-business pipeline and to connect prospective entrepreneurs to accelerator and funding opportunities.
