Federal Funding Roundtable for Advanced Manufacturing Businesses in Butler County

Please join us on for an interactive discussion with Catalyst Connection, Butler County Community College, Tri-County Workforce Development Board, and your Butler County Commissioners to review and discuss the federal Build Back Better resources for Butler County manufacturers.

We will present an overview of the technical, capital and workforce development assistance available, and will facilitate an interactive discussion with participants to better align our work with the needs and opportunities of Butler county’s advanced manufacturing businesses.

Topics that we will cover include: new market opportunities because of federal investments in infrastructure, clean energy, CHIPs, and more; challenges to pursuing and/or winning new opportunities; and additional needs of businesses to grow, prosper, and create and retain jobs.
