As the temperature (maybe) warms up for good, businesses in the High Country are busy preparing for the hustle and bustle of the late spring and early summer. As people have less time to digest information about the various programs and seminars that dot the landscape, the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce has taken the opportunity to distill this information for you in what we are calling the Spring Organization episode of Mind Your Business.

On this week's program, we'll discuss the roll-out of Phase 2 of the N.C. Business Recovery Grant Program and the wide range of businesses that are now eligible for this COVID-19 economic recovery program. We'll also discuss an upcoming webinar series hosted by the NC Rural Center focused on The State of Small Business in North Carolina. This series will reveal some eye-opening statistics from the NC Secretary of State about the number of entrepreneurial starts since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also discuss Vision Northwest North Carolina, a one-day summit to be held next month in Boone, which focuses on cultivating the workforce of tomorrow.

Mind Your Business is produced weekly thanks to a partnership between Appalachian Commercial Real Estate and High Country Radio.
