Ann Arbor SPARK’s newest annual report for the past fiscal year shows continued investment and growth in its business incubation efforts in Ypsilanti.
The Small Business Support Hubs Program enters its second year with the introduction of new services to further assist Ypsilanti business owners.
Phil Santer is the COO of Ann Arbor SPARK. He says a focus was put on expanding the program to provide entrepreneurs with more accessible consultation and local resources. He says this coming fiscal year will see SPARK have less funding available to support local businesses, due to state budget cuts.
“Right now, we’re thinking about that and how we build a meaningful and more impactful program, so that we can continue delivering those small businesses that are in Ypsilanti and beyond.”
Santer says SPARK plans for the program to continue growing, despite the constraints placed upon its funding.
