August 2025 Membership Meeting

We will meet at Style Catering, network, get caught up, and gather our lunch of a Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap, pasta salad, chips, cookie, and beverage.

After a few chamber updates then turn it over to Brian Fleming, Sherburne County Economic Development Coordinator, who has been busy working on so many things in his first year and he will tell us all about it and various programs such as:

*Initiative Foundation’s “Enterprise Academy” in Sherburne and Wright County. This helps early stage businesses and entrepreneurs gain the business skills to grow and succeed further. 

*The Business Revolving Loan Fund program offers “gap financing” for businesses looking to buy commercial property or otherwise expand. 

*Also the newly created “Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program” which offers low-interest loans to homeowners throughout Sherburne County for a range of home rehabilitation projects.

*In addition to the Business Lab..........so many things to learn about!
