BARNESVILLE-LAMAR COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: Community Economic Development

By Press release submission

Feb 13, 2022

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!

ONE-DAY WORKSHOPS on MARCH 15 & 17

In addition to the webinar, we hope you will also join us for one of our in-person workshops on March 15 (Tifton) or March 17 (Athens).This one-day workshop will boost your community's efforts in developing an impactful entrepreneurship and small business strategy. You will engage in collaborative activities with other attendees and also have the chance to interact with entrepreneurs, small business owners, and service providers directly.
