The Immokalee Business Development Center is maturing into its organizational adulthood,
Launched just over two years ago by the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency, the IBDC (or IMMBIZ, as it's sometimes called), will become it's own independent non-profit organization over the next six months. The Collier County Commission approved the move January 24th.
The IBDC has offered many training opportunities to help us continue and maintain professionalism in our business. In the last two
weeks I have had to turn down 12 children because of lack of space and in the twelve years of our operation never have we had to turn down that many at once. Thanks CRA for teaching us how to properly market our
business and in every area in which they have assisted us
