SBA plans local stops in neighboring cities as part of upcoming “National Small Business Week”

As part of its “National Small Business Week” that starts May 2, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will be making a number of stops in nearby states in conjunction with its newly announced “Building a Better America Through Entrepreneurship” tour.

  • May 4 – Atlanta and Augusta, GA, and Columbia,SC;
  • May 5 – Richburg, SC, and Charlotte, NC; and
