Small businesses are the backbone of East Central Indiana—and communities across the region are stepping up to support them for the long term.

From forward-thinking grants in Randolph County to loan programs and incentives across counties, there’s a clear shift happening:
➡️ Moving from recovery to readiness
➡️ Investing in resilience, growth, and job creation

This is about more than funding—it’s about building communities where businesses can adapt, grow, and thrive no matter what comes next.
