If you've got a business idea and a bank says no, the Small Business and Entrepreneurial Development Resource Center may be worth a call. Executive director Henry Snorton III told the Hopkinsville Rotary Club about its work Tuesday. He also gave city leaders a rundown after the center moved from Main Street to Weber Street.
Over 650jobs created since 1988, per Snorton's Rotary talk
Snorton also cited over $6.5 million in leveraged capital investments. His tally to city leaders was nearly 700 jobs created or retained and almost $7 million in funding.
