A program aimed at helping small and midsize companies grow is being expanded with the hope it will allow existing companies to extend their roots in the community.
The Economic Gardening program, which was launched as a pilot program last year to help 22 existing businesses reach the next level, is expanding to assist 25 more companies, and local officials hope the program can become a permanent fixture in the local economic development toolbox.
