In The News
Last week, Governor DeWine visited Sign Solutions, a Lima small business, who received a SBA grant with help from the Rhodes State College SBDC. The Small Business Relief Grants provided by the State of Ohio have been a commitment to assisting the majority of the economy in Ohio. These grants have been instrumental in maintaining many of our small businesses through the pandemic and recovery process to continue to stay open for business. Attached are a few photos. Congrats!
