PUBLIC MEETING TONIGHT AT PONTOTOC, 6 P.M., FOR HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES, STARTING NEW BUSINESS OR EXPANDING EXISTING BUSINESS

Community Ventures, a non-profit headquartered in Lexington with offices across the Commonwealth has teamed up with the Twin Cities Chamber of Commerce and the City of Fulton to bring hope for the future to a region of the state still struggling to recover from the devastating storms that hit late in 2021.

Twin Cities Add-Venture will bring together small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs to discuss resources and assistance available to help them achieve their dreams and goals of launching or expanding their businesses or access the funding they need to rebuild or recover.

Community Ventures focuses on helping individuals achieve their dreams of home and business ownership, as well as the renewal and revitalization of communities, many of which suffer from disinvestment or on-going effects of a natural disaster.

“Community Ventures is excited to be working closely with the Twin Cities Chamber as well as city leaders, lenders and other community partners to bring help where it is needed most,” said Brenda Weaver, President of Housing and Lending for Community Ventures. “We are pleased to be able to offer access to affordable loan products as well as business education and technical assistance to help restore the economic health of Western Kentucky.”

A presentation, open to the public, at 6 p.m. at the Pontotoc Community Center will focus on entrepreneurs interested in starting a new business, expanding an existing one or those businesses in need of funding as they continue to recover from the tornado. Immediately following the meeting, Community Ventures staff will be available to speak one-on-one with attendees to answer questions and provide detailed information.
