SparkMacon

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s Small Business Readiness session," Food Businesses 101: What the Health Department Requires".

We are especially grateful to County Manager of Environmental Health, Shondreka Webster-Reese of the Macon-Bibb County Health Department for sharing her expertise and answering entrepreneurs’ questions about permits, inspections, requirements, and the process of legally launching a food-based business. Sessions like these are exactly why Innovation Wednesday exists, to connect entrepreneurs directly with the people, resources, and organizations that can help them move forward.

This week, we’re excited to continue the conversation at Entrepreneur’s Night at The Macon Melody. Join us as we explore the entrepreneurial side of local media. How do you launch a newspaper in 2024? How do you build an audience, create sustainable revenue, tell meaningful stories, and serve your community at the same time?

We’ll talk about the business behind the headlines, the role local media plays in supporting small businesses, and how entrepreneurs can use media to better share their own stories!
