| SCORE Naples Goes Gardening With the EDC |
Score Naples and the Economic Development Council of Collier County (EDC) are working together on the Economic Gardening Initiative, a program designed to help companies in Collier County, with between 10 and 99 employees, grow their businesses. Economic Gardening is an entrepreneurial approach to economic development first pioneered in Littleton, Colorado in 1989. The focus is on creating a nurturing ,environment for growing local entrepreneurs rather than "hunting" or recruiting businesses from elsewhere - it has been remarkably effective and now Collier County companies are about to benefit. Score will be there to help. The state of Florida has set aside $10 million for an Economic Gardening pilot program, $8,500,000 of which is for loans to 2nd Stage companies and $1,500,000 is for technical assistance programs to be administered by the Florida Economic Gardening Institute at UCF in Orlando. |
