Verizon Business Information Library

July 16, 2010

The Small Business Development Center of Hampton Roads Inc., an affiliate of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce, was awarded a $23,000 grant from the Verizon Communications Foundation in March 2010 to help small businesses hurt by the closure of Franklin’s paper mill.

The grant will help the SBDC’s Small Business Recovery program assist the small-business community in Franklin and Southampton and Isle of Wight counties.

A portion of the funds was used to establish the Verizon Business Information Library, which serves as a “one-stop” center for information concerning starting, running or managing a small business. MORE.
