The Door County Economic Development Corporation announced the 29 awardees of the Door County Small Business Façade and Property Improvement Grant Program.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation’s Small Business Development Grants provided $225,000, in addition to $25,000 of seed funding from DCEDC.
The Door County Small Business Façade and Property Improvement Program is a competitive application process for Door County businesses with fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees were eligible. The program focuses on façade and other exterior property improvements .
The program will award reimbursement grants of up to $10,000 each, covering up to 80% of total project costs.
Each awardee will complete the project described in the application and will request reimbursement. Each awardee is responsible for contacting the appropriate jurisdiction prior to the start of the project to ensure compliance.
“We were delighted with the applications received through this process and are grateful to WEDC and DCEDC’s Board of Directors for supporting this program,” said Michelle Lawrie, Executive Director of DCEDC.
Upon completion of all projects, DCEDC will assess the viability of a second round of this program.
