Main St. entrepreneurs are small business owners who make a big impact in the community! Odds are, if you're reading this, you're a Main St. Entrepreneur. This program is for the unsung heroes of our business community.

Empower is for Main St. Entrepreneurs who want to take their businesses to the next level.  

Compared to a business incubator, Empower was created as an Accelerator for those who wish to improve or scale their business. Empower is geared toward entrepreneurs who may need extra support in business operations, finance, legal, marketing, and/or digital media. If you are in revenue and have a history in your local community, we would love for you to apply. We are only accepting applicants from our service areas. We highlight socially conscious and charitable businesses.
