Free Information Sessions to Discuss Assistance Opportunities for Farms and Food Businesses:
Hudson Valley Agribusiness Development Corporation (HVADC) is eager to support businesses that are ready to roll up their sleeves and accomplish their goals. HVADC will host multiple free virtual information sessions to discuss how its ongoing Business Technical Assistance (BTA) programs and loan funds are available to food and farm businesses throughout its eight county coverage area, which includes Orange, Albany, and Dutchess counties.
The information sessions will discuss how HVADC provides individualized BTA to farms and food entrepreneurs through its Incubator Without Wall Program (IWW) and the loan programs it facilitates. HVADC’s BTA one-on-one consulting services include business, strategic and succession planning; financial analysis, marketing, human resource management, agribusiness industry-specific knowledge of best practices and equipment, and legal assistance. Its funding programs enable HVADC to extend help to the regional agribusiness economy in the form of access to capital for a variety of purposes. Zoom presentations will be held:
Wednesday, October 6: 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Monday, October 11: 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Wednesday, October 13: 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
