Presentation on Pop-Up Marion

                Want to be an entrepreneur?

Interested in starting your own business, but you're not sure how to go about creating your dream business?

We're here to help! We are excited to have Ken Heath, Marion's Director of Community and Economic Development, come tell us about Marion's success and how they filled their vacant storefronts!

They developed a program "Pop Up Marion", a five-week entrepreneur training program designed for startups and expansions.

Budding entrepreneurs learned all the ins and outs of starting their own small business, even developing their own business plan, and competed for up to $5,000 in startup grant monies!

We are looking forward to modeling this "Pop Up Marion" program in South Boston and partnering with Longwood Small Business Development Center- it is a proven, exciting way to move your community through helping budding entrepreneurs and existing business owners learn the skills they need.

Come listen to this exciting presentation and LETS GROW THIS ECONOMY!
