entrepreneurs and small business owners can use in their business and marketing plans, but access to this information can often be difficult for users not familiar with Census Bureau data programs and tools. This webinar will feature the recently-released
Census Business Builder (CBB). CBB provides access to key demographic and economic data from the Census Bureau (as well as other third party data) in an easy-to-use, interactive map-based tool. Webinar attendees will not only learn how to access and use the
Small Business Edition of CBB, but will also learn about a prototype second edition of CBB designed specifically for Chambers of Commerce staff.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
