Directional Plus, LLC, a local business with deep veteran roots, has just received a supportive financial boost in the form of $20,000, courtesy of the Weld County Small Business Incentive Program. This family-run operation, known for its dedication to both economic development and the Weld County community, is the latest beneficiary in a series of investments intended to spur local business growth.
The county's initiative, which draws from its economic development fund and began in 2014, has been pivotal in assisting companies within unincorporated areas of Weld County. Its goal is to mitigate the often substantial costs associated with land use, permits, and impact fees, a financial barrier for many fledgling operations. The recent addition made by the Weld County Board of Commissioners, launched back in 2014 with an initial $500,000, brings new enthusiasm to the local business landscape, now with an extra $500,000 available to propel the program further.
As reported earlier by Weld County, not only has Directional Plus, LLC reaped the rewards of this financial encouragement, but the Small Business Incentive Program has also extended its hand to over 30 small businesses scattered across unincorporated Weld County. This demonstrates the continuous effort by local governance to invest in the business potential of the region.
Commissioner Chair Kevin Ross expressed commitment to Weld County's future, stating, “Weld County is committed to fostering economic growth and helping businesses succeed,” according to Weld County. “We are proud to award Directional Plus, LLC their funds as well as allocate more funding to this program as we want to encourage business growth for years to come.” His comments echo the sentiment of the entire board, underscoring a strategy for long-term economic fortitude fortified by the successes of the incentive program.
The $20,000 awarded to Directional Plus, LLC is more than a simple check, it's a vote of confidence in the veterans who founded the company and the family that helps run it. This strategic investment by the Weld County Board of Commissioners does not just signify economic backing but also a belief in the power of these businesses to uphold and enhance the local community spirit so characteristic of Weld County.
