The Walter C. Potts Entrepreneur Center celebrated 20 years of helping small businesses grow in Lima with its annual meeting. Leaders and participants highlighted its role in workforce development and supporting future entrepreneurs.

“We really chose the Lima Citizens Police Academy to really strengthen the relationship between our local law enforcement and our community,” said Samuel White Jr., project team lead for the class. “I believe there's a lot of negative perception around our police department, and so we really want to build that trust, that transparency with our police department with this academy.”
