Entrepreneurial Center
Entrepreneurial Center –
The Entrepreneurial Center (EC), currently located at 205 F Street, Phillipsburg, Kansas is on the main floor of the Fischer building. The EC originated as a thought “How do we provide a catalyst to help new businesses develop?” The PCED office researched many of the projects across the state and nation, both successful and not, to figure out an approach for entrepreneurial support. Although similar to the regional area support offices of the Kansas Small Business Development Centers, the intent was to not to duplicate, but to enhance the support to local entrepreneurs through programs already existing and to provide additional information/assistance in areas that was not already provided at a local level. As the thought grew, the understanding that this was not just a center that would help Phillips County alone, but would help the region; thus, a stronger region meant a stronger economy in Phillips County.
