Explore our opportunities.

Build. Reach. Grow.

Practical solutions. Strategic investments. Lasting partnerships

Build. Reach. Grow. is a business development initiative designed for entrepreneurs and small businesses that are ready to invest in their future. Through three flexible investment opportunities, the program helps businesses establish strong foundations, reach new customers, and expand with confidence. Every participant receives personalized business advising, a customized Growth Plan, and ongoing support from Small Business Solutions.

Cultivate.

Helping farms and food businesses grow, innovate, and add value close to home.

Agriculture is a cornerstone of Pulaski County's economy. Cultivate is designed to help it thrive. This initiative supports farms, food producers, and agricultural entrepreneurs who are making strategic investments in their operations. Whether you're expanding production, creating value-added products, improving processing capabilities, or exploring new markets, Cultivate provides investment opportunities and business support.

Gather.

Supporting the restaurants and eateries that bring our community together.

Restaurants do more than serve meals. They create gathering places, support local jobs, and add energy to our communities. Gather helps new restaurants and eateries establish a strong foundation by reimbursing a portion of eligible meals tax payments during their first three years of operation. By supporting new dining experiences, we're investing in vibrant downtowns, local entrepreneurs, and a stronger Pulaski County.
