Grant Highlight

Southwest Colorado Small Business Development Center ($50,000)

The Southwest Colorado Small Business Development Center (SBDC), located in the School of Business Administration at Fort Lewis College, was established in 1989 to provide small business development services including counseling and training programs for small businesses in the five county region of southwestern Colorado including Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan Counties.  The SBDC is a part of the Colorado Small Business Development Center Network (a network of 16 centers around the state of Colorado).  The SBDC provides free business counseling services to both start-up and existing small businesses within the region.

The Southwest Council’s grant went toward business counseling services and programs for Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Juan counties, with a portion subsidizing classes and providing incentives to small business owners upon completion of the class.
