BizCONNECT launches

The Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance and economic development partners has launched a new “BizCONNECT” program to help retain and expand local businesses.

BizCONNECT connects economic development professionals and business owners, allowing economic development professionals to hear problems firsthand and subsequently work to solve those problems and improve the local business climate.

The kickoff presentation, which took place Sept. 8 at the Innevation Center, highlighted the new program and how it will benefit local businesses in the Las Vegas Valley. Most jobs are created when local firms expand, and BizCONNECT is a way to help local businesses solve problems, grow their networks, realize expansion opportunities, and help increase jobs and the economy in Southern Nevada.
