Hamilton County Grants Boost Local Biz

Hamilton County Commissioners are poised to approve nearly $200,000 in grants for 21 small businesses—each with four or fewer employees, many owned by low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs. These funds, drawn from federal Community Development Block Grants, support local economic growth and include mandatory business training and a year-long follow-up to ensure success. Applicants ranged from salons and mechanics to landscapers, using funds for marketing, websites, and equipment like car lifts. Forty-four businesses applied, but 23 were disqualified for location issues. The vote is set for Thursday. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
