SJVCEO's November Learning Bundle
Green Business Network in Your Community
SJVCEO met with local businesses in Hanford and Visalia over the last month. Meeting with local owners allowed us to connect with an industry that SJVCEO does not typically attend to. It was lovely to hear stories of the community as well as hear how we may be able to assist businesses in maintenance costs. Over the next month or so we will be back out in the field to connect with new businesses and enroll more businesses in the Green Business Network.
