Future Changes For MSU Small Business Center

Murray State University has announced future changes for its main campus Small Business Development Center operations, effective July 1.

The changes include transition of its Owensboro operations to the Kentucky Small Business Development Center network, hosted by the University of Kentucky's College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, effective September 30.

This action will enhance the mission of Murray State as an activist and catalyst for business and economic development outreach in the region through the Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business.  

In the days ahead, Murray State will announce a new small business and economic development advisory initiative which will collaborate with the  network to provide support in its service region.  

The current Murray State SBDC district director, Chris Wooldridge, will assume these new duties as of July 1.

Inquiries for KSBDC services received by any one of the Murray State University campuses will be directed to the Owensboro center as of July 1 to the attention of Lois Decker, center director, at lois.decker@murraystate.edu or by calling 270-809-2856.
