EDA Grant to Support Entrepreneurship

We were recently notified that we secured a $100,000 federal grant to support our entrepreneur initiative.  The United States Economic Development Agency (EDA) grant will help us take the Yakima Valley Entrepreneur Network to the next level.  We plan to organize an initiative for inventors and stage two business plan competitions in 2010-2011.  The funds will also allow us to offer special business seminars and help ensure that the initiative works throughout Yakima County.  Our team is quite pleased with how much has been accomplished in our first year and now we have significant new resources to sustain our emerging business initiative.  Stay tuned for more news and updates about New Vision’s entrepreneur network and for contest details.  Check out the video "Help for Entrepreneurs" on KAPP TV’s website. 

If you have any questions or suggestions surrounding this initiative please contact me at 509-575-1140 or Tammy@ycda.com.
