About E-Hub
E-Hub is a unique entrepreneur program where staff members work one-on-one with you to explore your business idea and its market feasibility. Our signature entrepreneur series, "Stepping Up to New Opportunities," serves as a compass in guiding you in the right direction. Here, you will find a multitude of resources, opportunities for "cupiding" (connections) with other entrepreneurs, events that expose you to various entrepreneurial activities, learning through mentorship and continued counseling.

E-Hub can help you develop self-sufficiency, change our economic landscape by creating jobs, and maybe help you become a community leader in the process!
