Small business office will open in Penn Yan

PENN YAN--The New York State Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Binghamton University is establishing a satellite office in Penn Yan servicing the Finger Lakes community. The office will be located in the offices of the Finger Lakes Economic Development Center located in One Keuka Business Park on Route 54A.
Office hours will be from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. the first Thursday of each month. As the number of clients increase, the number of days of staffing the office will increase accordingly. The Binghamton University SBDC covers 12 counties and presently has locations in Binghamton, Painted Post, Elmira, Ithaca, Watkins Glen and Oneonta. "We are looking forward to having a location in Penn Yan to expand our services to that region--we were able to work out a plan with Steve Griffin with the Finger Lakes EDC that we feel will really help those people either starting a business or expanding one in this area," said Scott Bloor, assistant director of the Binghamton University based SBDC.

The SBDC provides entrepreneurs and small business owners with no-cost, confidential business counseling, training and research.
