Fulton County Has Funds For Business Owners
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
ROCHESTER - The Fulton Economic Development Corp. and the Fulton County Council is soliciting business proposals from public and private entities and citizens who would like to start or expand a business in Fulton County.
Qualifying awards will not be lower than $25,000 and could be as high as $100,000.
Fulton County has levied county economic development income taxes for years. Now that money is being used to stimulate the creation, innovation or transfer of businesses.
"The primary purpose of this competition is twofold; first, to partially fund the start-up or expansion of business activities to improve the per-capita income of Fulton County; and second, to diversify Fulton County's economy by focusing investment in business research that will create industry clusters requiring high-skill, high-wage employees for the county," said Tom Tucker, FEDCO executive director.
FEDCO will host a free business plan class Nov. 29 from 8 a.m. to noon, 822 Main St., Rochester.
"You're not going to get seed money like this anywhere else," Tucker said of the program.
Completed business plans need to be submitted to FEDCO from Dec. 1 to Jan 31.
The plans will be reviewed from Feb. 1 through March 20.
At the April 17 Fulton County council meeting, award winners will be announced.
For more information, call FEDCO at 888-229-9374.
