By
on August 17, 2014 at 6:50 AMA local chapter of a national nonprofit dedicated to helping small businesses and entrepreneurs get ahead, is attempting to expand its reach in Mercer County with new partnerships in Trenton and Lawrence.
The American Small Business Development Center branch at The College of New Jersey provides independent business counseling and group workshops to about 2,000 English- and Spanish-speaking business people each year in Mercer County, said Lorraine Allen, the center’s regional director.
Many of the services provided by the ASBDC are free, because the center receives funding from a variety of sources, including TCNJ, Mercer County and the state.
“We know the economics of Mercer County and New Jersey are going to be dependent on small and midsized companies,” county Executive Brian Hughes said. “We’re gong to help them get going.”
