Details:
The Town of Morrisville received a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration (U.S. SBA) to provide pandemic relief to small businesses, and design ongoing Town supported programming to serve them. To develop programming tailored to the needs of Morrisville businesses, staff conducted outreach through surveys and visits and took away that marketing is the biggest need. The commercial storefront is the first point of contact for a customer and may include signage, landscaping, awnings, and other physical elements that help a business market itself.
