CommStar Credit Union is excited to announce a grant program designated for business operating in or planning to open in the Downtown Elyria area. The credit union is offering up to $40,000 in total grant money.
The grant dollars from CommStar’s Elyria Storefront Revival Grant are intended to help revitalize Downtown Elyria area one business at a time. Grant applications are open to business owners moving into the Downtown Elyria area, or who are currently operating Downtown who need assistance with funding for their business, with a specific focus on financial hardship and funding gaps. Grant funds were secured by CommStar as part of the National Credit Union Association’s (NCUA) Community Development Revolving Loan Grant Fund.
CommStar worked with city officials, including the Mayor and the Director of Economic Transformation & Business Services, to work out the details of the grant program a way that would support the city’s economic development initiatives.
Deadline to apply is 12:00 pm EST on Friday, June 10, 2022. Submit application one of the following ways:
