Baker says the USDA grant will allow the organization to establish the East Central Indiana Rural Revolving Loan Fund, which will help entrepreneurs in rural areas establish, start and grow businesses.
In addition, the Innovation Connector is now the host location for the East Central Indiana Small Business Development Center.
He says the center will also be home to a satellite office of the Service Corps of Retired Executives, which provides mentoring services to small business owners.
