​Bloomsburg, PA – Rural Business Innovation is proud to welcome its newest board member, Donald Alexander, Director of Planning and Economic Development for Northumberland County as well as the Director for the Northumberland Industrial Development Authority (NCIDA). Mr. Alexander comes to our board, not only presenting Northumberland County, but carries with him 20 years of experience in developing, implementing and growing marketing strategies and initiatives, with a strong network of relationships across public and private sector channels.  Mr. Alexander realizes economic development must evolve with the market and the needs of the region as a whole.

​RBI and NCIDA have a common vision of economic growth for the region which includes assisting small business, mom and pop shops but also utilizing those businesses as the assets in which to attract other businesses to the area.  “With a current business incubator and supporting services in Sunbury through RBI’s programs, we are looking at the development of additional financial resources in which to grow our Northumberland County economy,” said Mr. Alexander, “and RBI is one of the tools in our toolbox”.

“RBI is looking forward to working with Mr. Alexander and welcomes this opportunity for growth in Northumberland”, said Kelly O’Brien Gavin, RBI’s Executive Director.  RBI is looking forward to seeing activities accelerate the growth and development in the area with the help of Don Alexander, particularly in the Northumberland County Region.
​
The Northumberland County Commissioners are hosting a workshop in June for local area businesses, manufacturers and CPA’s to cover Research & Development tax credit opportunities for our region.  This workshop will also allow CPA’s to receive continuing education credits towards their professional licensing requirement.
