Henrico Business Resource Fair

About this event

Small business and commercial property owners are invited to a Henrico Business Resource Fair from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 3 at the Henrico Sports & Events Center , 1 All Star Blvd.

The Henrico Economic Development Authority (EDA) and Department of Community Revitalization have partnered to host this free event to connect property and business owners in county with resources for building and property renovations, financial assistance for business growth, safety and security advice, and more.

Attendees will learn about grants that can provide financial assistance for improvements, low interest loans, and available technical and design support. Representatives will be available to answer questions from those interested in loans, parking lot repaving, investment assistance or redevelopment.

The business fair will consist of an open house-style fair with a short panel presentation in the middle, which will feature local business owners sharing how they utilized available resources for their own companies.
