Greene County Offers Small Business Training Classes and Funding

The Greene County Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Planning is now accepting reservations for its Fall 2010 Microenterprise Assistance Program (MAP) training classes.  The two-day session is free, and covers the basics of business planning, accounting and marketing.  It will be held on Thursday, September 16^th and Friday, September 17^th from 8:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Greene County Emergency Operations and Training Center, 25 Volunteer Drive in Cairo.

Greene County received a $200,000 grant award from the New York State Office of Community Renewal (OCR) for microenterprise development earlier this year.  The funds have allowed the County to approve six $25,000 grants to date, including a new child care center and automotive repair business in Cairo, a landscaping business in Lexington, a logging company in Catskill, and a restaurant and lawn equipment business in Coxsackie.  These investments drive capital and help create and expand new locally-owned businesses during a significant downturn in the national economy.  Assistance is potentially available to any business in Greene County.
