Business Retention Program 

Our Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) Program uses business visits, events, and research to learn about our local business practices, future plans, and current challenges. When we are able to identify a business that needs help, we connect them to local or state resources.  Our local businesses know they can count on us! 

Studies show that 76 percent of new jobs are created by existing local businesses. On average, only about 15 percent of new jobs are created by new, external businesses.  We are here to help make sure our local businesses grow successfully. Request a BRE meeting by completing the form below.
