Local business leaders are kicking off a month-long celebration of economic development in the Tallahassee area.
For the third year running, Tallahassee will be celebrating entrepreneurship in November—what organizers are calling E-Month. Tallahassee City Commissioner Curtis Richardson says local economic development means the city is turning over a new leaf.
“We are no longer just a government town, we’re looking to expand our private sector base,” Richardson says, “and through the activities that you’ll hear about and participate in through E-Month will lead us in the direction of certainly expanding out private sector base here in Tallahassee.
Organizers will be hosting a Google business town hall and a talk with Facebook executive Randi Zuckerberg.
