SARASOTA (November 13, 2012) Eleven Sarasota County area businesses have qualified to participate in the 2013 GrowFL Economic Gardening class coordinated locally by the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County (EDC). Now in its third year, GrowFL fosters growth among “second-stage” businesses that have grown beyond the startup or first stage of business development.
“As a partner in the GrowFL program, the EDC offers qualified area businesses a robust and, for first-time participants, cost-free program of custom strategic research, peer interaction and mentoring that has already paid off for Sarasota County businesses,” said Mark Huey, EDC president and chief executive officer. “With funding from the State of Florida and assistance from the statewide program based at the Florida Economic Gardening Institute at the University of Central Florida, GrowFL is a powerful tool for assisting entrepreneurial businesses with strong potential for job creation.”
