Are you an aspiring business owner looking for space?
Are you an existing business owner ready to expand?

If you can answer yes to either of these questions, come join the Woonsocket Commercial Corridors Program on June 1st, 2013 for the inaugural Woonsocket Main Street District Open House. We will be showcasing the available commercial spaces in our historic Downtown with exclusive viewings. You will be able to explore the different spaces and discover which ones meet your needs.

In addition, representatives from local business and financial resource organizations will be available to answer questions about their services designed to help you get your business off the ground or make your existing small business more competitive. The schedule for the day is as follows:
