For three years the Pendleton County Economic Community and Development Authority has come together with the Pendleton Community Bank and Summit Community Bank to award a grant to small businesses within the county.
The 2022 grant award is $5,250 and will be awarded to assist with “growth and success.”
This grant program is designed to provide a mechanism for the EDA to award incentives to local businesses for business and tourism development, according to Laura Brown, executive director for the EDA.
Previous recipient of the award, Jeff Munn, owner of the local distillery Dry Run Spirits, said, “I received one when I started the distillery. It is a great program.”
To apply for the grant, visit pendletoncounty.com/2022-grant-incentive-program. Applications are due by Oct 1.
