We want you to succeed. Enhancing our local economy is part of our mission.

Owning and operating your own business is an American dream and something within your grasp. But, to be successful you have to avoid the entrepreneur's itch to just rush in. To succeed and to avoid unnecessary expense, you must plan properly and do quite a few things before you embark on this exciting adventure.  

Information and tools to assist you in planning and avoiding pitfalls are available from the business Assistance Center.
