Research shows EXISTING businesses create 60% to 80% of all new jobs.
FACT!
Communities that actively implement an on-going BR&E program focusing on the retention and expansion of local businesses will:
-
Improve the business climate of the community
-
Help to make local businesses remain competitive
-
Increase employment
-
Stabilize the local economy
WHAT IS BUSINESS RETENTION & EXPANSION?
Keeping an existing business in the community is usually easier than recruiting a new business. Therefore, Extension's BR&E program has offerings that help community leaders and communities to work together to identify barriers local businesses face as they try to survive and grow.
Business Retention and Expansion
The Benkelman CRA, Envision Benkelman, the Dundy County Chamber and Development as well as the Benkelman Post are working together to support the growth of your business in the Benkelman area.
