LISC Duluth and the US Bank Foundation recently joined to provide Main Street Lincoln Park businesses grants to implement their COVID-19 safe reopening and recovery plans. Grants of $5,000 along with technical assistance provided by Main Street Lincoln Park and the Entrepreneur Fund were awarded to eight businesses from retail to the trades to a neighborhood farm. Those businesses include Liila Boutique, Sew Duluth, New-2-You, Duluth Pottery, Sheet Metal Solutions, Flora North, Saltless Sea Urban Farm, and Hemlocks Leatherworks.
Lars Kuenow, Program Officer of LISC Duluth, shares the details of the grants and how they are being implemented to help both reopen the brick and mortar doors of these businesses, and improve their online presences as well.
