Idaho will continue to be one of the only states in the nation without a Women’s Business Center.
The Idaho Business Review reports officials say none of the applicants for a Small Business Administration grant received a passing grade on the grant applications, though details on what areas the application fell short were not immediately available. The primary applicant was Idaho Women in Leadership, a bipartisan nonprofit organization that advances Gem State women’s leadership in government and business through leadership training programs.
This year marked the SBA’s third attempt in recent years to award a grant to help support a Women’s Business Center, after two previous centers shut down due to lack of matching funding from the community. (AP)
