Fond du Lac County Economic Development Corporation (FCEDC) and Center for Enterprise Development (CED) have received a $437,899 grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA). The grant will be utilized to fund the implementation and three years of services that will expand and enhance FCEDC’s current existing business development services in the form of an economic gardening program called “Impact!”.
The term economic gardening means growing the economy from within. It is a model based on the idea that entrepreneurs at all levels of a business life-cycle drive economies. The program creates jobs by supporting existing companies in a community. Economic gardening works by providing access to technology for finding or expanding sales opportunities, creating supply chain efficiencies, and understanding competition.
Call us today for an appointment to learn how Impact! can help you. (920) 929-2928 or info@fcedc.com.
