Stimulus Opportunities for Small Business
Ever wonder: How can I access stimulus dollars? or How can my small business work with the state and federal government to participate in “shovel ready” projects? You are invited to a “Stimulus Opportunities for Small Business” event that will help you get answers to these questions and assist you in finding out how stimulus projects can help you be better positioned to survive and grow through the current economic downturn. There will also be corporate buyers sharing their expertise with attendees on how to become a supplier.
