Huber Heights proposes $150,000 economic development grant program, separates small‑business and nonprofit pools
Summary
Staff recommended expanding the city's economic development grant program to $150,000 for 2026, splitting small business and nonprofit pools and keeping the same application-review process; staff cited 2025 results (27 applications, 7 awards, $90,000 distributed, 67 jobs).
Jason, the staff lead for the economic development program, asked council to move a 2026 grant program resolution to Monday that would increase total funding to $150,000 and split small business and nonprofit awards into separate $25,000 pools.
"Last year the inaugural program generated 27 applications, we awarded seven grants and distributed roughly $90,000," Jason said, and staff said those awards leveraged an estimated $176,000 in private investment and supported 67 jobs. The application window is proposed for Aug. 14–Oct. 16 with awards by year‑end; council agreed to place the resolution on Monday's agenda for formal consideration and appropriation as part of the annual budget process.
