Council approves two $20,000 small‑business grants as program hits $1 million in awards
Summary
The council approved two $20,000 small-business grants and the plan commission noted that, if approved, the program would reach $1,000,000 in grants issued since 2019, supporting more than 80 businesses and leveraging private investment.
The plan commission presented two small‑business grant development agreements: La Pianotto Salon and Spa at 2802 Tower Avenue for $20,000 for spa and styling-station renovations, and Up North DeCaro, Superior at 1106 Tower Avenue for $20,000 for golf simulator equipment. "If you approve them both, we will have issued $1,000,000 since, 2019," the plan commission representative said, noting the program has supported more than 80 businesses and helped trigger roughly $3.5 million in private investment.
Both grant agreements were moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission framed the grants as part of a long-running small-business-support program that the city says has generated a greater than three-to-one private-sector return on investment. Councilors did not attach additional conditions at the meeting; implementation and any associated development agreements will be handled by city staff per program rules.
