Reviving a small town’s heart: Georgia entrepreneur helps transform downtown Demorest with UGA SBDC guidance

When longtime Georgia entrepreneur Chadwick Peck spotted two run-down buildings in downtown Demorest, he didn’t see blight – he saw opportunity. With help from the UGA SBDC Specialty Programs Division and its SSBCI business advisors, Peck secured the funding he needed to bring these properties back to life.

Funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

All programs of the UGA SBDC are open to the public on a non-discriminatory basis. Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance.

The UGA SBDC is an accredited member of America’s SBDC.
