There’s more than $2.5 billion in state and federal research and development grants waiting for small business owners who know how to pursue it.
Fortunately, an upcoming conference will teach local business owners how to do just that. Set for 2-5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 17, in Community Room B of the Sandpoint library, the Small Business Innovation Research Road Tour will be packed with essential pointers to thrive in the complex modern business environment. The event is free to attend.
While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
You can contribute at either Paypal or Patreon.
