SPEARFISH, S.D. (AP) - The U.S. Small Business Administration is giving the Black Hills State University Foundation in Spearfish a $750,000 grant to establish the South Dakota WomenÂ’s Business Center.
Black Hills State President Kay Schallenkamp says the grant allows the university to expand its business consulting and outreach program.
The school says the WomenÂ’s Business Center will be part of a network of more than 75 nationwide that provide entrepreneurs with management and technical help, counseling and comprehensive training on many topics.
The SBA's South Dakota district director, John L. Brown II, says the services are coming at the right time to help entrepreneurs get through tough economic times.
