ā¤ļøThank you for joining as we celebrated both National Small Business Week and IEDC Economic Development Week.

This week reminded us what economic development really meansā€”and why small businesses are at the heart of it!

It means companies creating jobs.
It means small businesses finding support, momentum, and room to grow.
It means industries choosing Hanover for opportunity and access.
And it means a community where businessesā€”and peopleā€”can succeed together.
