An innovative partnership between The Independence
Economic Development Council and the Missouri Small Business and Technology
Development Center will be announced at the Friday, May 11 EDC Investor
luncheon.
Tom Lesnak, President of the Independence EDC, said the
new partnership opens a new chapter for the EDC. “The new partnership with SBTDC puts a vast
array of new services on the table to help grow small business in
Independence,” Lesnak said. “In joining
forces with SBTDC we are now consultants with new sources of revenue through
Federal stimulus funding to aid in our efforts.”
