City opens registration for Local Small Business Enterprise program; information sessions available Feb. 16 and March 16

 

SAVANNAH (Feb. 14) – The City of Savannah Economic Development Department is hosting two upcoming informational workshops on the newly launched Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) program. The LSBE program is an expansion of the former Savannah Business Enterprise (SBE) program and is part of the SAVANNAH FIRST purchasing initiative. Registering as a LSBE provides Savannah-based small businesses access to bidding on SAVANNAH FIRST procurement events first. 

 

“Through the LSBE program, the City hopes to engage our Savannah-based small businesses to participate in the SAVANNAH FIRST purchasing initiative,” said MarRonde Lumpkin-Lotson, Business Opportunity Manager for the Economic Development Department. “This initiative will help keep local dollars in our community to benefit our local economy.  That’s a win for our businesses, a win for the city, and a win for our community.”

 

To learn more about LSBE and the application process, the City invites local businesses to attend an upcoming information session. The sessions can be attended in-person or online. Registration is required for online participation (see links below).
