You may have run into Governor Tony Evers and Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes while shopping in downtown Sturgeon Bay on Wednesday as he championed the Main Street Bounce Back Program. The pair stopped at Dancing Bear Toys, The Marketplace, and Avenue Art & Co. to highlight businesses that benefited from the program. Approximately 6,200 businesses across all 72 counties have utilized the funding to help them move or expand into vacant commercial spaces. The additional $25 million investment announced by Evers and Hughes this week will ensure a total of 10,000 businesses and nonprofits will benefit from the Main Street Bounceback Program.
