A new grant program for your new or moving business has emerged and the Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation wants you to take advantage of it. The Main Street Bounceback program is providing $10,000 to new or existing business and non-profit organizations that are moving into vacant properties in Wisconsin downtowns. Eligible businesses are those that opened or moved into a new location or expanded into a vacant commercial space on or after January 1st of this year. There’s a variety of ways to use the funds, such as paying leases, operating expenses, and other costs. KCEDC Executive Director Ben Nelson thinks there’s a fair amount of Kewaunee County businesses that are eligible. 

Ineligible businesses include those that are part of a national or regional chain.
