BLEDC Aims to Help New Businesses Thrive with Shopping Center

A new project by the Big Lake Economic Development Corporation will bring a shopping center to the heart of Big Lake in the next year.

The shopping center will serve as an incubator for new businesses as they get their start.

“We have talked about setting up an startup incubator in Big Lake for some time now,” BLEDC Executive Director Jimmy Barton said. “Our board has dedicated themselves to making this a reality, and it will serve Big Lake in so many ways it is hard to count.”
