Pittsboro Collaborates in Regional Summit to Boost Opportunities for Local Small Businesses

The Town of Pittsboro is collaborating in the Central Carolina Procurement Summit, which supports small, disadvantaged businesses. This regional event will be held in Sanford, North Carolina, from April 29th to May 1st, 2024. It is organized under the partnership of nine agencies from the area and aims to assist minority, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses in securing government contracts.

The Fayetteville-Cumberland Regional Entrepreneur and Business HUB, along with UNC-Chapel Hill’s NCGrowth, are organizing this three-day summit. Their goal is to promote economic empowerment through entrepreneurship education and business development. The event will be hosted at the Dennis Wicker Civic Center and will take place each evening from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Support for the summit comes from various local entities including Central Carolina Community College, and the counties of Chatham, Lee, and Harnett, as well as the cities of Sanford and Dunn. These organizations are working together to boost local economic growth by supporting small businesses in the community.

A key objective of the summit is to enable direct interactions between small businesses and large government agencies. These interactions are intended to help small businesses learn about and compete for procurement projects in the Central Carolina region, which is important for the economic development and sustainability of local communities.
