We’re here to do everything we can to help you start a new business or expand an existing one in the Griggs-Steele Empowerment Zone. Our staff is eager to assist you with financing and strategic business support as well as infrastructure and workforce needs—everything from site selection to accessing utilities to tapping into the labor pool and complying with regulations.

Many of our efforts in the Griggs-Steele Empowerment Zone are focused on supporting the growth of primary sector businesses that export most of their products or services outside the region, creating new wealth in the local economy. We’re home to enterprises in industrial manufacturing, value-added agriculture, and technology.

Whatever your business development needs, we’re ready to help.
