09 March, 2023

Description

Come and enjoy snacks and drinks at the Hale Turner Little Theater in Elgin where we will engage in a lively discussion about building a vibrant, community supported, local economy. Our presenter, Brad Attig, founder of Reinventing Rural, passionately believes that rural communities can become creative entrepreneurial centers. He advocates that small places can take simple steps that can quickly impact the local economy and energize an entire community. Small Businesses are the lifeblood of rural Main Streets throughout Oregon and beyond. While there are those who say rural America is destined for decline they forget that many said the same thing about big cities in the 1970's. While challenges exist to building strong rural economies, Brad will lead a discussion on building an entrepreneurial environment in Union and the surrounding region and present pathways to support the creativity and initiative needed to revitalize rural. This FREE event is sponsored by NEOEDD & Reinventing Rural and made possible through Business Oregon funding.
