Livingston County Economic Development has launched a second Dream-O-Vate business competition.

The contest has $300,000 in prizes available to up to 15 winners of the competition, which is designed to help entrepreneurs open a business or help existing small business owners innovate their business.

The prizes include training, funding, and essential resources and tools needed to successfully open a business.

Through the Dream-O-Vate competition we hope to ease that transition into business for fifteen innovative entrepreneurs,” explains Bill Bacon, Livingston County’s director of economic development. “In doing so, we’re not only helping the winners, but also our existing businesses as we add to the critical mass in our communities.”
