ZIONSVILLE, Ind. – The Boone County Economic Development Corporation (Boone EDC) announced today its sponsorship of Bryan Long, Founder of Crave.ly, for a membership at zWorks, Zionsville’s co-working and entrepreneurship space. Crave.ly is a food-finding website that allows users to search by ingredient or dish to determine what foods are available locally. Crave.ly offers two plans for restaurant, bar, and food truck owners to add their menus into its mobile-friendly, on-demand website, and looks to expand in the central Indiana market.
The GROW (Gumption, Resources, Opportunities, Workplace) program was designed to facilitate an entrepreneur’s first steps toward developing their business in Boone County. This is an annual membership program offered by the Boone EDC to a qualified entrepreneur looking to grow in Boone County.
“I am excited to be given this opportunity to grow at zWorks and in Boone County,” said Bryan Long. “Boone County has a lot of great, non-chain style restaurants, which is our target market. We want users to learn about the great food options located nearby.”
“Entrepreneurship is key to economic development,” says Molly Whitehead, Executive Director of the Boone EDC. “We want to welcome and cultivate entrepreneurs and small businesses as they comprise a critical piece of our economy. Successful small businesses mean more jobs and greater opportunities for communities. Business growth attracts other entrepreneurs when they see colleagues being locally supported.”
