 At the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), we’ve always been dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses in our region. Now, with a name that better reflects the breadth of our service area, we’re excited to announce that as of December 1, we’ll be known as the North Central Small Business Development Center!
Why the Change? Our new name represents the expansive 8-county region we serve, which includes Cayuga, Cortland, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Onondaga, Oswego, and Seneca counties. By adopting the name North Central SBDC, we aim to better connect with the diverse communities and businesses we proudly assist. “The name change to the North Central Small Business Development Center is a more accurate representation of the territory we serve and will more easily identify with the diverse population of people seeking our assistance,” said Robert Griffin, Regional Director of the North Central SBDC. We’re deeply grateful to Dr. Warren Hilton, President of Onondaga Community College, and our Regional Advisory Board for their unwavering support in making this transition possible.
