A trio of small businesses in West Michigan received $75,000 in grant funds from a Michigan Economic Development Corporation program.
Hardt-Elliott Agency in South Haven, White Flame Brewing Co. in Hudsonville and Torti Taco in Battle Creek each received $25,000 through the Match on Main program, the MEDC said Tuesday.
The MEDC awarded a total of $500,743 in grants to 17 communities across Michigan through the Match on Main program, which provides funding to communities that participate at the select and master level in the Michigan Main Street program or are a certified redevelopment ready community (RRC). The communities, which receive the grant funding from the MEDC, in turn award grants of up to $25,000 to eligible businesses seeking support.
