This week while participating in the Coastal Caucus Summit in North Bend, Business Oregon announced the launch of its new Rural Entrepreneurship Development Initiative (REDI), a public-private partnership to increase entrepreneurship in rural areas of the state.
“Oregon small businesses are the backbone of a thriving Oregon economy,” said Oregon Governor Kate Brown. “The Rural Entrepreneurship Development Initiative is an exciting new opportunity to leverage the skills and resources of innovative, local entrepreneurs and grow rural Oregon economies.”
