AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Hurricane Recovery: Florida activated $10 million in short-term, zero-interest emergency loans for businesses hit by Hurricane Isaias. Crews also reopened key roads and repaired a damaged bridge, while power restoration continues across the Panhandle. Hiring: Small-business job openings eased nationwide in September, but 32% of owners still had positions they couldn’t fill. NFIB Florida says local businesses face the same skills gap alongside rising costs. Business Support: Consolidated Credit received the American Dream Builder Award at Broward’s Entrepreneur Summit for helping South Florida business owners build financial and credit skills. Local Commerce: Key West’s Artisan Market opens its 14th season Oct. 18, bringing together Florida Keys makers, growers, chefs and other small businesses.
