(The Hoot photo) Columbia City Connect hosted a workshop Tuesday morning with a presentation from the Indiana Small Business Development Corporation (ISBDC). Jane Rich of the ISBDC provided tips and ideas about finances, marketing, social media and more to help local business owners level up their endeavors.

The workshop was jointly presented by Columbia City Connect, the Whitley County Chamber, the Churubusco Chamber and the Whitley County EDC.
