Congratulations to Fran Pastore and WBDC, chosen by SBA to host one of 17 Women's Business Centers located across the country. The Hartford center will offer counseling, training, networking, workshops, technical assistance, and mentoring to women entrepreneurs.

Today, I announced a $150,000 grant we secured to re-open WBDC's Hartford Women's Business Center with Richard Blumenthal, Governor Ned Lamont and Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz.

The center will be a hub for women entrepreneurs to access the resources & guidance they need to start a business and thrive.
