Is your group interested in learning more about grants for small businesses? If so, then you may be interested in the Great Streets grants. GNYAGG has had Great Streets at meetings and was impressed with the presentations.
For your information, Great Streets has begun to publicize the FY16 Great Streets small business funding opportunity. Grants of up to $50,000 each will be awarded on a competitive basis to owners of small retail and service-oriented businesses in 13 Great Streets corridors to support these entrepreneurs in completing improvement projects for their commercial properties.
Last Friday, Great Streets released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the grant and anticipates releasing the Request for Applications (RFA) in August, at which point business owners can begin to apply for the grant. This grant round will close in September.
With the above in mind, are you interested in representatives of the Great Streets program doing a presentation at an upcoming community meeting or forum to highlight the funding opportunity to small business owners? Or would you like to co-host a standalone meeting to discuss the grant with potential applicants.
The Greater New York Avenue Gateway Group (GNYAGG) decided to help spread the word; therefore is circulating information compiled from another source. GNYAGG is available to co-host or partner/work with other groups to help reach out to small businesses as part of this tremendous and needed outreach. Maybe there can be a collaborative effort to host a larger meeting with several groups partnering in this short time frame. In any case, please invite Great Streets to one of your meetings to help build strong business communities that you desire.
Should you have specific questions and/or want representatives to come out to meet with you and your group, please contact this outstanding, committed government leader below:
