Local First’s Green Business Boot Camp, formerly called SCALE UP, is an award-winning program that offers a comprehensive planning series for locally-owned and operated businesses and nonprofits throughout the state.
Each cohort meets for seven sessions – once each week – to hear from experts, share and learn about cost-saving resources, and learn about unique opportunities for businesses to go from education and collaboration to planning, financing, benchmarking and implementation — all in one accessible package.
