During Nov. 18-24, the Island County Economic Development Council will sponsor free workshops covering business plans, resources, financing and insurance.

EDC Director Ron Nelson will kick off the first workshop on Monday by talking about starting tools for writing a business plan, gathering information and what to do next.

Attendance is free, but reservations are required for all workshops.
