Macon-Bibb hosting business forum Wednesday

The Macon-Bibb County Office of Small Business Affairs will hold a Business Development Resource forum on Wednesday, according to a news release.

The event will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the fourth floor training room at Terminal Station, 200 Cherry St. The event is open to all local business owners in all sectors, including businesses owned by minorities, women and the disadvantaged.

"We want to provide local small business owners access to resources that will give them a competitive edge when seeking contracts in our region, as well as with the consolidated government," Small Business Affairs Director James Bumpus said in the release.

The first part of the forum will feature presentations by business development agencies from across the state, and the second part gives business owners the chance to talk directly with the resource providers. The Macon-Bibb County Attorney's Office will present information about Title VI Compliance, and the Business Development Services Department will discuss business license compliance.
