‘Business in Action’ workshop very beneficialBy Forrest Hershberger News Editor Having a concept, even a storefront, does not guarantee success in the business world. Businesses often experience hard times because of details that were not predicted. A workshop was held Wed., Nov. 14, to address some of the issues that confront business owners.

The Eastern Business in Action Forum was held at Northeastern Junior College addressing several topics from the state budget to marketing and personnel. The event had about 35 business people and 10 sponsors. “We probably had about 50 people,” said Laurie Ganong Jones, business consultant for Northeast-East Central Colorado Small Business Development

Center. Jones said that overall the workshop was well received with many positive comments given. This is the first business workshop held in Sterling by the Northeast-East Central Colorado Small Business Development Center. The day opened with Don Marostica addressing the participants. Marostica, a real estate broker and former Colorado legislator, is serving in Colorado’s

Office of Economic Development and International Trade. He addressed the impact of issues such as the TABOR amendment, the Gallagher Amendment and the state of Colorado’s budget. He illustrated the business in eastern Colorado with a triangle, the three points separately identifying economy, energy and the environment. The energy point was a discussion on wind, gas and oil energy impact in northeast

Colorado, and the environment point focused on natural reserves, food, water, and air. He said Northeast Colorado will always have the environment. The question is “where do you fit in?” Sterling attorney Alex Wright lead the first session, talking about what businesses need to know to prevent a legal conflict. The session, titled “Protect Now or Court Later,” was a discussion
