Our mission as a 501(c)(3) in downtown Hammond is to continue to foster the economic development by offering small business programming, developing and promoting the visual and performing arts and helping to develop minority, women, and Hammond-based businesses.

We offer evening programs focused on writing business plans, bookkeeping and Quickbooks training. Over 800 entrepreneurs have gone through our training and gone on to develop thriving business in the region.

Conveniently located in downtown Hammond, we are on the forefront of the revitalization project. We have office space in three buildings which vary in size from small independent offices to large full floor plans for companies. We can accommodate usage of our conference rooms by the day, week or month and have facilities that enable co-working.
