The Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation is proud to serve as\u00a0a Community Navigator Program focused on retaining and growing small businesses within our community.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sponsored by the State of Illinois, Small Business Community Navigator Programs were originally introduced to serve underserved minority, rural, veteran and women-owned businesses. While\u00a0<\/span>Spark<\/span><\/b>\u00a0will help these businesses engage with available local, state and federal resources, DGEDC is committed to doing more.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
