A fter submitting the grant proposal, Indiana's EDA repre- sentative came for a site visit on June 5. We walked through the project and discussed the need for the En- trepreneurship & Technology Cen- ter of Pike County, and later visited the site where the Technology Cen- ter will be constructed. We had a great visit with our EDA representative and later on June 16, we received a letter from EDA stat- ing that we are invited to submit a full application for the project of the Entrepreneur- ship & Technol- ogy Center of Pike County. Thank you for everyone who has been sup- portive of our en- deavors with this project and sup- port letters, funding pledges, and contributions. There are a few more documents to prepare for the applica- tion but we feel confident as we move forward in EDA's grant process. The Entrepreneurship & Tech- nology Center grant would not be possible without the teamwork and support of our organization and var- ious partners.
