The program has $30,000 allocated to help pay rent for the first six months of an eligible new business operation.
The program will be available in Wind Gap, Pen Argyl, Bangor and Portland.
Businesses will be eligible to receive up to $1,500 for rent in the first three months of operation and up to $750 for the next three months.
