NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 9, 2017) – Small business leaders are invited to attend the 1st Annual Small Business Opportunities Open House 8 a.m. to noon March 16, 2017 at Tennessee Small Business Development Center located at Tennessee State University’s Avon Williams Campus at 330 10th Avenue North in Nashville, Tenn.
According to Roy Rossignol, Nashville District Small Business Office chief, the purpose of this event is to promote positive relationships with the large and small business community, to share the Corps’ unique missions and projects, meet business leaders, and publicize the projects that districts are working on or planning in the future.
