From the businesses that I talked to, the comments I heard over and over again were not that there are not enough programs or that the programs don't exist. Don't get me wrong; they're not perfect, but there are lots. The biggest challenge most of our small and medium-sized businesses have is that again, they don't know where to even begin to look.
Organizations like ours and organizations like Communitech and others are on the ground. We know who those businesses are. I can pick up the phone and call the CEO and ask him specifically about the issue or challenge. They know to call us and our community because we are that point person today, so across the country, I'm not suggesting a cookie-cutter approach, but I am suggesting that individual communities have their own resource in the community that can be that focal point, as the ones who have those business connections.
