the world about Franklin County and its communities. We feel we are the
better choice for business start-ups, expansions and relocations and would
welcome the opportunity to have that converstaion with you. We are also
"boots on the ground" partners to assist busines.
In addition to being the gateway to local and state incentives, our services
include site and facility location assistance, gap-financing, business plan
development and workforce recruitment. Got a question about a business matter?
