Catherine, it appears the "Build a Business Plan" tool is on the SBA.gov website. Here is the link.

I have searched all over this website and cannot find the tool to create a new business plan template. Can some one give me the link to where it is located?
Thanks in advance

I really liked how Hasbro crowdsourced this promotion. Like you said, a great way to get the younger generation to give a damn about board games when they are already wrapped up in video games.
I tended to always use the car token when I played and do have an affinity for the derby hat. I never much was for the iron token so I am not too broken up that it is gone and the cat token looks pretty good.

It's one of the tough reasons why the bridge construction goes slowly. I guess its time for them to get some aid at excel bridge. That would be the best alternative and solution for the current issue of the bridge construction. Take the advice of some experts and learn from them.

Maybe it's too forward-thinking to propose that the new bridge have four lanes instead of the two (plus the deceleration lanes as highlighted in the article). Won't the new South Carolina port facilities thrust significant increases in traffic along this corridor? So long as a completely new bridge is being constructed, that would be the right time for progressive infrastructure improvements like that, as surely South Carolina will be making widening improvements to Hwy. 17 just past the bridge.

Thanks for the post! Our kick-off in Americus this past weekend was a great success. Young Gamechangers includes very enthusastic and innovative leaders from across the state and I'm excited to be a part of this initiative. Thanks to Georgia Forward for this proactive program to work with the City of Americus and the Young Gamechangers!

I agree with Mr. Wilfong, the city international outreach office has the potential to make a significant difference for small to medium size businesses in the Greater Savannah area. In addition to China, there are small to medium size companies in Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Israel and the United Kingdom that wants to do business with companies in the Savannah area. I encourage the outreach office and the local business community to embrace this opportunity. The City of Savannah Economic Development Department phone number is (912) 651-3653 and ask for MarRonde Lumpkin Lotson.
The World Trade Center - Savannah is another resource for local companies interested in learning more about international trade with foreign companies. Their phone number is (912) 447-9707.

Hi amcallahan,
I an the co-founder of www.creativeinterns.com and recommend trying to post an internship to our site and we will help promote it via several social media outlets and student/school networks.
Try it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks,

On my way home from work the other day I saw a sign that a Logan's Roadhouse is being built near the crossing of Pooler Parkway and Benton Blvd. Very cool!

More big news for Pooler.
Upscale outlet mall proposed for Pooler

Sounds crazy, and it may violate any number of local ordinances, but there's a historical precedent: Rock City barns.
Now, if we could just bring back the Burma Shave signs, too.

Mary, well-written as always. As a frequent flyer I hope the prediction of more seats being available in the future comes to pass. As an etiquette consultant I can't help but wish the additional riders will fly with more courtesy and respect for others.

I am not surprised Facebook's stock has fallen. They have a lot of users and data but it remains to be seen how they can effectively use that data to provide meaningful ad campaigns to users.
