Recently, Susan Ladd of the News and Record wrote an article on entrepreneurship in Greensboro. Above, we feature one of the entrances to the Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship on South Elm-Eugene Street. This is a private, non-profit corporation, founded in 1987. The business incubator offers space and support services to entrepreneurs whose businesses are in the early stage of growth. Their Entrepreneur Assistance Support and Education (EASE) program is a partnership between the Nussbaum Center and the Bryan School of Business and Economics at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

As you can see by the sign in the upper, left-hand corner, the center is located in the offices of the former Carolina Steel building. With programs like EASE to scaffold the success of start-up businesses, the time has never been better for trying to follow one’s dreams and opening a business. “Local” is the new “big.” Today is ABC Wednesday and E is for Entrepreneurship.
