BizNet Business Retention Program

Monday, 17 October 2011 10:25

BizNet is a unique approach to helping businesses survive and grow by helping them identify and access a host of critical business services with as little red tape as possible. The BizNet program area includes Ohio's Athens, Belmont, Guernsey, Hocking, Jefferson, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry & Washington Counties.

A collaboration of chambers of commerce, workforce and economic development organizations, universities and career and technical centers, and state and local government agencies, BizNet strategically targets businesses with growth potential as well as those facing challenges, and then conducts interviews with leaders of those businesses.

The BizNet Report provides an overview of the BizNet Business Retention Program in the 12-county SE Ohio region ending June 2011. The program was funded through an Early Warning grant with The Ohio Dept. of Development. AEP has provided a continuation grant of $10,000 for the BizNet visitation process in the short-term as well.

 
The report provides top-line details entered from the visits into the Executive Pulse database system adopted. Further details may be available in the future as additional reports are developed.
