Local business owner Dolores Borza of HomeGrown Tours MVI has been chosen as a winner of the 2017 American Small Business Championship hosted by SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer expert business mentors. The award was given to 102 entrepreneurs for their dedication to the success of their small businesses.

HomeGrown Tours MVI is a wheelchair accessible tour business created in 2016 by Ms. Borza. The idea for an accessible wheelchair tour business came to her while doing a tour with a previous company for a gentleman in a wheelchair. She witnessed first hand the difficulties of transfer and limited mobility.

Home Grown Tours is now eligible to win one of the three additional grand prizes.
