Thirty-seven small business owners and citizens attended the Marketing Your Business seminar March 27 and April 3, sponsored by the Monroe County Office of Economic Development and Tourism in partnership with the Marietta College Small Business Development Center. The marketing program that the Monroe County Office of Economic Development and Tourism developed is an excellent example of assisting local small business to be more successful and in turn create employment, said Emerson Shimp, Director of the Marietta College Small Business Development Center.
Small businesses make up a significant part of the non-governmental work force.
Locally owned businesses tend to stay in and contribute to the local community. Monroe County is to be congratulated for the very successful marketing seminar they organized. Copyright 2000 Monroe County Dept.
