COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SURVEY

2024 BIZ BOX

To celebrate the 2024 Small Business Week, Wainwright Economic Development is excited to be putting together our third collaboration box to showcase the wonderful and unique businesses the Wainwright area has to offer. 

For the past two years, we have enjoyed curating the Wainwright Biz Box. However, as they say, all good things must come to an end, and 2024 marks the final year for our Biz Box. We're determined to make this year's edition the most remarkable yet, and we warmly invite you to participate in the final edition.

Last year all 100 of the Wainwright Biz Boxes sold out in under two hours! This year we are aiming to have 100 boxes available to be sold during Small Business Week, which runs from October 20 – 26, 2024.

Apply by May 15, 2024 at bit.ly/2024BizBox for your business to be part of this year's Biz Box!
