The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College’s Center for Entrepreneurship held its second annual student pitch competition called “Storm Tank,” on Monday, March 31. Storm Tank provided a platform for students to pitch their business ideas to a panel of judges with local business ties, competing for a $4,000 prize pool. The participants demonstrated their ability to develop viable business models, address market needs, identify differentiation between their products and the market, and deliver compelling pitches in front of the judges and a live audience.

The new dormitory at the University of Rio Grande & Rio Grande Community College is a significant development for Gallia County. For local residents, it means economic growth, enhanced community resources, and stronger ties with the university. For those considering a move to Gallia County, it offers a vibrant community life, educational opportunities, and an improved quality of life. This new facility is a testament to the positive impact that strategic investments in education can have on a community, making Gallia County an even more attractive place to live and thrive.
