CADILLAC â A number of business owners, service organizations and non-profit operators in Wexford and Missaukee counties are breathing a little easier after recently receiving some financial assistance from the government â and not a moment too soon.
Thirty entities received around $228,000 in assistance recently through the Michigan Small Business Survival Grant Program (see sidebars for full list).
Through the Michigan Strategic Fund and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, $2,375,000 in Michigan Small Business Survival Grant Program dollars was provided to Northwest Michigan small businesses that experienced a significant financial hardship due to the COVID-19 emergency âgatherings and face mask orderâ issued by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services in December 2020.
