If awarded the $1,000 grant, Taylor plans to invest in a 2017 Ford Transit Connect Van, enabling greater mobility and capacity to serve customers in more areas with enhanced equipment. Additionally, Taylor is fortunate to have the guidance of Rosalina Perez from the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center, who provides invaluable support in navigating the path to success and accessing essential resources for business growth.
