Kenneth MacCormac, Chairman of the The Middlesex County Chamber of
Commerce, is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for
the Fall 2008/Winter 2009 Side Street to Main Street Business and
Leadership Development Program for small, minority-owned businesses.
The unique and award-winning program is entering its 12th year of
operation in the County.
To date, 129 graduates have used what they learned to build success and
reduce the risk of failure in both the business and personal aspects of
their lives. A number of graduates presently own businesses located in
Middletown’s Downtown District.
The Side Street program is funded by a grant from the Aetna Foundation and is facilitated by professionals from the Essex Group.

Middlesex Chamber on September 3, 2008 at 7 p.m. to be eligible for the
program. The program runs weekly from October 8, 2008, through February 2009. This will be followed by three quarterly meetings beginning in March 2009 and ending on September 16, 20009.
Applicants are asked to contact Jennifer De Kine at the Chamber at
