Taking that business idea off a note pad and making it a reality just got easier for area entrepreneurs.

“Project Open classes provide education and support to different entrepreneurs who already own or are thinking about starting a business in Saline County,” said Hayley Morrical with the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s just incredible how much you can learn in just a day of sitting through these classes.”

Morrical joined in on the KSAL Morning News Thursday with a look at a session scheduled next week.
