The Stratford Grange has invited CEDC to provide an introduction and Q&A session that will be open to the public and free of charge.  Maeve Cyr, Outreach Coordinator at CEDC will present and answer questions on the services available through the Lancaster Office such as business coaching, grants, loan programs, networking and workshops for small business owners in the area. This is part of the ongoing Homesteaders Series created by the Stratford Grange to provide support to the many agriculture based and microenterprises that make up the economic landscape of the Northern Coös region. This is a great opportunity to learn about the wide variety of  resources in place to get your business up and running. CEDC has been providing support and financing opportunities for over 25 years.  This non-profit was recently awarded a grant through The Northern Borders Regional Council and has been dedicating time to the identification of the issues that are facing today’s rural economy.
