Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes was in Hayward Thursday, Oct. 20 visiting four businesses that received the $10,000 Main Street Bounceback Grants.
Specifically, Main Street Bounceback Grants, according to WEDC were meant to “ …provide grants to approved entities with the capacity to deploy rapid response grants to businesses opening locations in vacant commercial spaces. The grants are to assist the business with cost associated with leases, mortgages, operational expenses and other business cost related to the newly opened location.”
