“During my time in Fall River, I have seen many businesses in diverse industries benefit from BCEDC’s finance programs. The last few years have been tough on a lot of us and BCEDC has been there to step in and help business owners when conventional financial institutions were turning their backs. BCEDC is a huge asset to the business community.”

George Matouk, Matouk Textiles Work, Inc.
