IN APRIL -- Funding cuts by Congress spells disaster for small business training and counseling center.
Story here...
http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/ Story below: ------------------------- St. Louis veterans business center to close in April by Angela Tablac
The Veterans Business Resource Center, which
provides small business training and counseling to military veterans,
plans to shut down in April because its main source of funding has been
cut. Congress appropriates money to The Veterans Corp., which in turn, funds the centers. But leaders at the St. Louis and Flint, Mich., locations recently learned their funding for fiscal 2008 was scaled back. The third center, near Boston, did not receive any money.
The St. Louis-area office — opened in 2004 and
the first of the three — received $140,000 through The Veterans Corp. in
fiscal 2007, but that amount was reduced to $67,500 for this year, said
executive director Patrick Heavey. -------------------------
