Located at 46 Queen Street in Ripley, The Hub will be offering programs like Start a Business, Business Expansion and Youth Entrepreneurship, as well as online webinars. It will be managed by Lauren Eby, Huron-Kinloss Business Development Coordinator.
COVID-19 physical distancing measures and mask wearing policies are in place.
