SPRINGFIELD — A program that gives free legal advice and business support to entrepreneurs is coming to Springfield from Boston, where it has seen nearly a decade of success helping hundreds of small business owners.
The Springfield City Library is joining forces with Lawyers for Civil Rights Boston to stage the first BizGrow Conference in Western Massachusetts. The legal support and business expo is being held at the library’s central branch on State Street in October.
“When I got the email from Lawyers for Civil Rights, I jumped right out of my chair to go talk to our director about being able to host this conference,” said Elizabeth McKinstry, training and programming librarian. “It felt like exactly the opportunity we need to talk more about the kinds of resources available for small businesses.”
