A local organization supporting entrepreneurship in Manitowoc County has received funding from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC).
Progress Lakeshore is one of twenty organizations that will receive a share of $2 million in the inaugural round of Small Business Technical Assistance (SBTA) Grants.
The $64,000 that will go to Progress Lakeshore continues their help by offering a comprehensive suite of entrepreneurial development services that guide small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs from ideation through growth.
The WEDC continues to say the initiative combines one-on-one counseling, peer mentorship, targeted training, and networking events, with a focus on expanding access to rural communities through virtual services and pop-up office hours.
WEDC CEO John Miller says through the grants, “we are expanding access to critical technical assistance and strengthening the small businesses that power communities across Wisconsin.”
