Granville County, in partnership with the Vance-Granville Community College Small Business Center and the Granville County Chamber of Commerce, is planning this year’s “Small Business & Industry Appreciation Day.” The annual event is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 27, from 4-6 p.m. at the Granville County Expo & Convention Center, located on Highway 15 in Oxford.
For local businesses and industries, the event is not only a networking opportunity but also a chance to learn more about services and resources that are available to assist them. Organizations, agencies and businesses that provide services to a business (such as lending or education/training) are invited to set up a table to share information with those in attendance. For information on reserving a table, which is free of charge, contact Lynn Cooper at the Granville County Economic Development Commission at (919) 693-5911 or Lynn.Cooper@granvillecounty.org.
The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. A brief program, including remarks to recognize the important contributions made by local employers, and the reading of a resolution declaring Feb. 27 as Small Business & Industry Appreciation Day, will take place at 5 p.m.
