Chaffee County now has a Business Development Center

The City of Salida and the Colorado Small Business Development Center (SBDC) announce the opening of the Business Development Center in the Touber Building, Downtown Salida.  This is a great place for growing businesses to develop here in Chaffee County.  If your home office is busting at the seams, if you need a more professional office, or if you wish to locate your business here in the heart of the Rockies, this could be an ideal location to help your business flourish.  Leases are flexible, and monthly consulting will support you to achieve your business goals.

Incubator programs, such as the Business Development Center, have been shown to vastly improve the sustainability of businesses.  Designed to provide entrepreneurs with an array of targeted services and resources, Chaffee County’s Business Development Center can help your business get growing!

Many thanks to the Salida City Council, the Chaffee County Commissioners, the Upper Arkansas Area Development Corporation, the Small Business Development Center, Western State College, and the support of the Salida and Buena Vista Chambers of Commerce for making this program a reality.
