The overview
Hosted in partnership with the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce, Bastrop Economic Development Corporation and Texas Workforce Commission, the event seeks to empower others by providing access to essential resources and information to start, strengthen, and grow their businesses, according to a news release from Governor Greg Abbott.
What to expect
Attendees can attend sessions designed to:
- Connect local, state, and federal resource partners to share insights
