Communication is the key to economic development. When we clearly communicate what assets we have in Portage County, what opportunities exist and what needs our community can meet  — we build awareness that contributes to creating a stronger business community. When we share information, we can build opportunities within our community. That is why Portage County Connects exists — to provide business owners, investors, members of the educational sector, workforce and economic development professionals with the information they need to attract, retain and expand business in Portage County.

The Portage County Business Council (PCBC) is the sponsoring organization of Portage County Connects.  The PCBC has a simple strategy – we work hard to maintain the jobs and industries we have, attract new businesses, and work diligently to keep our economy diversified, strong and growing.  The Portage County Business Council is breaking new ground by working together with local and state leaders, and business and economic developers, to successfully provide the resources, expertise, and resolve to help you expand or relocate your business to Portage County.  Saying we’re pro-business is easy – but actually being your business advocate is what we do!
