SBDC... Springfield - Clark County Small Business Development Center

Referred to in the Past as Fry Elementary School, our facility once echoed the voices of small children, perhaps with raised hands, asking their teachers "What will I become when I grow up?" or the still familiar, "May I be excused please?".

Today, many of these same children, plus a lot of new faces, walk the halls of what is now known as the Springfield Small Business Development Center. Although they still come to learn, or even take up residence, their visits are for a new and different purpose, to learn all they can about becoming successful business owners.

The Small Business Development Center is also the "home" of SBDC, Inc., a non-profit organization incorporated by the City of Springfield in 1984 to help promote the economic growth of our region. To learn more about the programs and services offered through SBDC, Inc., please continue.
