Entrepreneur Development
Main Street Eureka Springs has been honored to win a Main Street Arkansas award for our entrepreneur development educational programming and we are dedicated to continue providing it. It is a cornerstone of our Economic Development initiatives.
Current Entrepreneur Development Initiatives:
COVID-19 Resources - we are committed to providing the latest and best information on funding, grants and opportunities for the survival of small business in Eureka Springs. We open these resources to the entire community through our email broadcast, social media posts and online webinars.
COVID-19 Business Development Access - through a grant from the Arkansas Community Foundation we are providing online training open to all businesses in Eureka Springs and free consulting. This training is being developed based on a survey provided to the business community and their continual feedback on their needs.
Ozark Incubator - through the Etsy Maker Cities grant we are continuing to develop artist business education and a launch pad for beta-testing their work in a retail setting. The initial programming has been delayed due to COVID-19, but will regain steam with online training beginning in September. This is open to all artists within Northwest Arkansas.
