Minority Economic Development Initiative will be hosting a pair of planning retreats Saturday and Monday to help set priorities for the next few years.
They will be from 9:30 a.m. until noon both days and Executive Director Henry Snorton says they are meant to collect information from the community on what services are needed and what should be the focus to help aspiring small business owners become successful.
Snorton says a vast majority of MEDI’s work is helping those start-up businesses and summer is traditionally a slow time.
It’s been about three years since the last retreat and Snorton says it’s time to hear from the community again.
Both retreats will follow the same agenda, so there is no need to attend both, and anyone planning to attend a session can RSVP by calling 270-885-8885.
