Stone Mountain creates small business grant program
The city of Stone Mountain Downtown Development Authority has created a new grant program for local small businesses called BOOST Stone Mountain. The grant is funded by local “investors” who want to see small businesses thrive in the village. The first round of grant applications will be accepted through July 1 and awarded on July 31.
Investors contribute a minimum of $200 a year with a commitment to remain part of the BOOST Stone Mountain group for two years.
Business owners are able to apply for grants quarterly. Grants are available for things like signage, equipment, marketing or advertising needs, and interior or exterior renovations. Funds are not to be used for day to day operating expenses. Grants will be made for amounts between $100 and $1,000.
