The Business Resource Network is a Uniquely Proven Program that Helps Regional Businesses Survive, Grow and Put People to Work

Our award-winning business retention and expansion initiative delivers bottom-line results and jobs.

Studies show that three-out-of-four new jobs come from the growth of existing businesses – companies already working hard in the community.

In Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana Counties in Ohio, and Mercer and Lawrence Counties in Pennsylvania, we know in order for our region to survive and grow, we must make sure our businesses get what they need, and we know our future depends on how well we do that.

That’s exactly what the partner organizations of The Business Resource Network do every day. The Business Resource Network is a nationally-unique, locally-driven partnership of chambers of commerce, economic development and workforce organizations, government agencies and elected officials, schools, colleges and universities and other organizations offering a wide range of business incentives, services and training for business.

Our goal: Help businesses identify, understand and access the services they need – loans, grants and tax incentives, technical and worker training, market development, government problem-solving, etc. – with as little red tape, hassle and bureaucracy as possible.
