Many businesses have, but many haven't taken advantage of the many federal and state programs to assist local businesses.  That's the word from the Executive Director of the Christian County Economic Development Corporation, Mary Renner.

Renner says that while the programs have differences, they have similarities, and she's happy to direct local businesses where to go.

Renner will do everything she can to help local businesses apply for these programs.

Her number again is 638-5032.  Renner adds her job is to sort out all the information so local businesses can apply.
