The Goal of the Business Development Grant Program is to promote economic development aimed at creating new job opportunities, filling vacant store fronts, and encouraging diversification, additional private sector investment and in-fill business development. This program will provide existing and new small businesses with funds necessary to meet operational needs and remain financially viable.
This initiative seeks to spark job creation, revitalize vacant storefronts, attract private investment, and foster in‑fill development within the town limits. Businesses may apply to receive funding to cover essential operational needs and investment in expansion, including improvements to buildings, the purchase of machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures, inventory, property acquisition or leasing, advertising, and other costs associated with launching or growing a business.
