Small businesses & entrepreneurs are encouraged to participate in our first annual business development series. Participation could result in cash money prizes and other business services awards! Jumpstart Giles will begin this winter.
A partnership between the Giles County IDA, the Towns of Giles, Giles Tourism Office, and others, Jumpstart Giles is a new program to support expanding small businesses as well as entrepreneurs with a business idea.
Participants will go through a series of workshops to hone their goals and plan, then pitch their business to a panel of judges who will divvy out prizes and accolades! Participation is free but you must register & attend all components of Jumpstart.
To learn more and sign up to receive updates please call Cora Gnegy, Tourism Marketing Director at 540-921- 2079 or send an email request to tourism@gilescounty.org.
