Pioneer Technology Center (PTC) has been awarded a $44,627 Rural Business Development Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to construct a new access road serving businesses in PTC's Business Incubator. The roadway will provide semi-trucks and other large delivery vehicles with safer, more direct access to the incubator's manufacturing suites. The improvement will make shipping and receiving more efficient, reduce safety concerns and support daily operations and continued growth of local small businesses. USDA Rural Business Development Grants fund projects that encourage economic development and job creation in rural communities.
