Barnesville-Lamar County Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Feb. 12.
Entrepreneurs and small businesses are integral to our local communities. This is especially true in our rural communities, where small businesses provide most employment opportunities and at a higher proportion than their urban counterparts. That’s why Georgia Power Community and Economic Development is launching Rural Revival – a series of events and programs focused on reimagining the future of rural Georgia.
KICK-OFF WEBINAR on FEBRUARY 24 | 2:00pm to 3:00pm
You’re invited to our first webinar on February 24 with Matt Wagner, Chief Program Manager at Main Street America, on new trends in entrepreneurship and small business development. You will learn about resources and tools to implement in your community to energize entrepreneurs and small business development – from financial and business support infrastructure to friendly governance policies. We’ll share more about upcoming events at this time as well. Five participants will be selected to receive a gift box – full of goodies hand-crafted in Georgia!
