The Discover West Haven Day was held at the University of New Haven’s David A. Beckerman Recreation Center on June 16, 2010.  The event was held for the business community to have a “one-stop” location to get all of their questions answered regarding their business or a potential start-up business.  The presenters addressed many questions and available programs in their presentations including: business plan writing assistance, downtown district façade program information, start-up business assistance, capitalizing small businesses, loan information (non-bankable loans), small business assistance, energy incentives and regional developments.

Presenters represented the following organizations: Workforce Alliance, The United Illuminating Company, Community Economic Development Fund, Small Business Administration, Connecticut’s Business Response Center, City of West Haven, University of New Haven, Yale University, Yale-New Haven Hospital, State of Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and REX Development.
