New Program in Northeast Indiana Supports Entrepreneurs

With national accolades touting Indiana's renowned business climate and tax incentives, Indiana's arms are wide open and welcoming to new and expanding businesses. It should come to no surprise then that this same quality of flexibility and reliability is found within the individual communities of Indiana and throughout northeast Indiana.

Furthering current incentives and available resources, the Whitley County Economic Development Corporation has launched Acceleration Innovation,a program which offers more services to attract and retain entrepreneurs. Accelerating Innovation will work to support and enhance the development of emerging industries throughout Whitley County. Reinforcing the collaborative environment of northeast Indiana, Whitley County EDC is partnering with the Columbia City Area Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Small Business Development Center to develop this program. Additionally, the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA), the Northeast Indiana Foundation and the Whitley County Community Foundation have pledged funds in support of this program.
