It's The Little Things

The IDA can help with the “little things” that become overwhelming if you are making the move to a new location. Things that aren’t as easily provided in big city settings. Things like, how to enroll your kids in school, where to find childcare, where to grab a commercial flight, where to bring your family to learn how to ski… closest place to you for the best buffalo chicken wings or farm to table locations.

We’ll connect you with the tools and resources you need to thrive: expedited permitting, workforce training, real estate searches, export assistance, job creation incentive programs, market research, and more.
