The Village of Decatur will be applying for the Match on Main Grant Program through the MEDC. This program is designed to allow local units of government an opportunity to receive up to $50,000.00 in grant proceeds that can then be distributed to small businesses impacted by COVID-19. To be eligible, businesses must be for-profit, have 25 employees or less, be able to demonstrate they have been affected by COVID-19, and be located within the Central Business District,
The maximum award per business would be $10,000.00. If awarded, final proceeds will be determined using a scoring matrix and in coordination with the number of applications received. In order for the Village to complete the application process, we will need the Local Business Worksheet completed for any business interested in obtaining these funds. Tomorrow, we will be distributing physical copies of these forms to eligible businesses in the Central Business District, but the worksheet can also be obtained at the following link: https://decaturvillage-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/mnewton_decaturmi_us/EVYleP6MFkFFooJvf1DjFS8ByuwTIcNBTGoPmwXRz54CrQ?e=HEjUvP.
In order to complete the application on time, all worksheets will need to be returned to the Village by Thursday, May 28th. They can be dropped off at the Village dropbox or emailed to the Village Manager at mnewton@decaturmi.us.
Again, we can't guarantee that the grant will be awarded to the Village, but we are committed to trying to pursue every avenue available to us to help our local businesses during this unprecedented time. Again, if you have any questions, please contact the Village Manager, Matthew Newton, at mnewton@decaturmi.us.
