Visions and Ventures
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, locally, regionally, and nationally. Each Monday at 6 p.m., “Vision and Ventures” features a regional business and business owner or an organization that provides assistance to the business community. It’s a time to learn and gain understanding of businesses flourishing in our community and about what inspired the owner to build their business, and perhaps inspire new entrepreneurs.
