MARQUETTE – The Lake Superior Community Partnership (LSCP) has entered into a one year agreement with the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center to provide business services to the community.

LSCP CEO Amy Clickner said they began partnering with MI-SBTDC several years ago. This agreement, she said, is a natural next step.

“Ultimately both organizations are focused on providing the services necessary to assist existing and start up business clients in Marquette County,” she said.

MI-SBTDC director Joel Schultz said the collaboration will help avoid duplication of resources and ensure consistency in the programs. The agreement will give the partnership access to the center’s resources and streamline services.
