GREENFIELD, Ind. – April 9, 2015 – Hancock Economic Development Council (HEDC), a local economic development organization, is partnering with Purdue University on a program called “Economic Gardening” designed to provide “second stage” firms in the community with specialized expertise to help accelerate business growth.
Eligible second stage firms are those that are local and privately owned, have between 10-100 employees and $750K and $50 million in annual sales, and are interested in growing. There is specific interest in businesses that have a high-tech aspect to what they do.
