Ft. Walton Beach, Florida is the place to go, for Veteran-owned businesses
According to an article in Stripes.com, "Fort Walton Beach, Fla. recognized for awarding grants to veteran-owned businesses!" According to the article,
"A small city in Florida that hosted a veteran-focused entrepreneurial program is now ranked as one of the best places in America for veterans to start a business. After setting aside $500,000 for a veteran entrepreneurship program, Fort Walton Beach was named the 10th-best city in America for veterans to develop a business or a new career after they leave the military. The survey ranking comes after seven veteran-owned businesses were given $25,000 grants to establish their operations in the beachside city.
Fort Walton Beach Mayor Mike Anderson said the city, which is near more than 17,000 servicemembers stationed at Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field, hopes the businesses attracted by the “accelerator” course will bolster an economy heavily reliant on its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico."
With so many veterans programs not getting any attention, not getting the funding they need, or worse...shutting down, it's nice to see a city step up and go all out for their citizens! Way to go, Ft. Walton Beach - thanks for caring enough to do something for those brave women and men who have given so much of themselves to our country.
