North Carolina Main Street Solutions Fund
The purpose of the North Carolina Main Street Solutions Fund is to provide maximum support to small businesses in designated "micropolitans" located in Tier 2 and Tier 3 counties and/or in designated North Carolina Main Street communities.
The grants will be used to assist planning agencies and small businesses with efforts to revitalize downtowns by creating jobs, funding infrastructure improvements and rehabilitating buildings.
With the Town of Ayden's upgrade to "Main Street" status, we now may qualify for these grant funds. We are in the process of working with the Department of Commerce to determine how the program will benefit our Main Street Program and small businesses. For more information about the Main Street Solutions Fund - please contact Stephen Smith, Town Planner.
