Waterbury will spend $1.5 million offering matching grants of up to $100,000 to help outfit downtown retail spaces for new and growing businesses.
The Board of Aldermen, on Monday, approved spending a portion of the city’s federal COVID-relief funds on the new program. The grants are meant to heal a downtown business district that suffered after large employers including Post University, Webster Bank and others sent staff to work from home at the outset of the pandemic.
