The new Laurel Thrive Grant I mentioned earlier this month was just launched - applications open next Tue, Sep 3 and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

The grant amount is $10,000, is for a business in the City limits, and can be used toward equipment, furniture, remodeling, exterior renovations, and more. (Excluded items are payroll, architectural fees, rent, and others.)

Be sure to read the full requirements and have all your items ready, then head on over to the Thrive Small Business Grant page to submit your application.
