Cumberland County Business Support Tree
Searching through agency websites and program pamphlets can be frustrating for businesses and individuals. We’ve created the Business Tree to help users find solutions quickly by categorizing supports available base on business/individuals needs. Start by choosing a side, either individual or business, and then identify a category that best encompasses your need to find relevant agencies & supports.
Are you unable to find relevant supports? Contact us directly so we can personally help you navigate the services and supports available. Once we've helped you find a solution, we'll update the Business Support Tree accordingly so other businesses and individuals can benefit from the new information as well.
