Rep. Bill Davis recognizes excellence for local business

STATEHOUSE - On Wednesday, Rep. Bill Davis (R-Portland) joined the Indiana Small Business Development Centers and Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman as they hosted their second annual Economic Development and Growth Entrepreneurship (EDGE) awards program.

Among the winners in the “emerging business” category was AeroCat High Performance Bicycles. AeroCat, based out of Portland, is a manufacturer of high performance bicycle products and is operated by Tim and Dave Poole.

“It was great to see the Poole family’s work in the small business sector be recognized,” said Rep. Davis. “With their dedication to high-performance bicycles, AeroCat is not only devoted to providing excellent service to their customers but also contributes to the well-being and health of local Hoosiers and many others as well.”

Award recipients fell into two categories, emerging and established, and were selected individually by the local staff at each of the regional EDGE offices.
