Waterford Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz and First Selectman Rob Brule on Wednesday visited local business owner Ivy Mellow, a recent recipient of an estimated $9,000 grant from the Women s Business Development Center s Equity Match Grant Program.
Mellow, who owns Ivy s Simply Homemade, a retail storefront offering prepared foods and a provider of catering services, is one of 44 women to receive a grant as part of the WBDC s second round of grants totaling nearly $400,000.
The Equity Match Grant Program was created in August 2020 to provide financial support to women entrepreneurs in the state disproportionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ivy s Simply Homemade is an incredible local-owned business that has had to work extra hard during the pandemic, said Bysiewicz, who purchased one of Mellow s homemade jams during her visit. We look forward to seeing Ivy s business continue to thrive.
