Small Business Challenge

The Challenge encourages applicants to develop innovative ways to invigorate their commercial areas and business districts. The Challenge will provide one-time grant funding in increments of $1,000 for well-designed projects that bring together neighborhood and business interests around shared goals of improved design, promotion, and business resiliency in a commercial area. Proposals must demonstrate a positive benefit to a given community in which businesses, residents, and visitors alike will benefit from the proposed project.

Applications are due March 8, 2017.
