Foothills Launch expanding local biz in the Isothermal Region


Mountain BizWorks Pop-Up in Marion for September 18 through November 14, 2019

We’re holding Foothills Launch “pop-up” offices in each of the Isothermal counties. The first pop-up was held in Rutherfordton from January-February. Thank you to our gracious host partner, the Town of Rutherfordton for helping to make it such a success. Our second pop-up office was held in Shelby from April-May. With wonderful support from the City of Shelby. In each office we have held dynamic Foundations business planning courses and made startup or expansion loans to several local businesses.

Our next stop is Marion in McDowell County where we’ll be open Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the months of mid September through mid November (address: 25 Brown Drive). Here are some of the activities planned to take place in the pop-up:
