A new resource for small businesses will be presented before the Spartanburg County Council at its meeting today.
A representative from the Spartanburg-area Small Business Development Center plans to brief the council on the services the center offers.
The re-opening of the center, which is sponsored through Clemson University, represents another resource for potential entrepreneurs.
A small business incubator created through the local Economic Futures Group was announced in December.
“Whether you’re BMW or you’re a mom and pop operation just trying to get off the ground, Spartanburg is a place to do business, and we’re going to help you any way we can,” said councilman David Britt, chairman of the council’s economic recruitment and development committee.
The presentation includes information about the center’s programming, which includes presentations in Spartanburg about finance, credit, taxes and other aspects of starting a small business.
The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. in the county council chambers of the county administration building at 366 N. Church St.
Council members also plan to address funding levels for the local Community Development Block Grant Program and Home Investment Partnerships, review updates to the current fiscal year’s budget, as well as hear reports about the county’s libraries and tourism efforts.
Council might also discuss and adopt a resolution regarding a Spartanburg County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan as well as adopt resolutions for mutual aid between the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office and other nearby county sheriffs’ offices.
