The Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corporation's Small, Minority & Entrepreneurial Division is launching a website co-op grant designed to assist small businesses with creating or improving a website. The funding has been provided from the Anonymous Fund of the Martinsville Area Community Foundation.
For-profit, local small businesses (twenty or fewer employees) which contribute to the local tax base (Martinsville or Henry County) are encouraged to apply. Awardees must use approved local website development providers. Awards may be up to $1,000 per business; however, no award shall exceed 50% of the total website project. Funds may not be used for domain registration or hosting. A marketing plan will be required in addition to an application.
"The community foundation is delighted to be in the position to help with this economic development effort and look forward to its positive impact on our local small businesses", said April Haynes, Director of Martinsville Area Community Foundation.
