SMALL BUSINESS GRANT FUND The City of Lawrenceburg Small Business Grant Program has been in place since 2003 and has assisted over 25 businesses up to date. New or expanding businesses can apply for and receive up to $20,000 to assist in their start up or expansion. The program is restricted geographically to an area bordered by the river on the south, Tanners Creek on the west, Argosy Parkway on the east and the City boundary line on the north. These grants are usually applied for in the spring of the year and are awarded around mid year. The grants are competitive and may be for lesser amounts than $20,000. Monies not granted, or monies not used, may be re-granted throughout the year. |

REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANT FUND Web Site Address: lawrenceburgRED.com This program was originated in 2006 to address our responsibility to invest certain gambling revenue funds in the regional economic development environment. The fund started out with $30 Million Dollars in funding for a three (3) year funding cycle (2006, 2007 & 2008). So far, we have committed over $17 Million Dollars to projects that have generated over 3000 manufacturing jobs and planted the seeds to harvest many, many more in years to come. There are ten (10) counties in Southeastern Indiana eligible for grant funding. Program changes for 2008 included adding Dearborn County as an eligible county and adding “Action Grants” to our program which are grants that can be accessed throughout the year to assist in the direct funding of projects that are directly tied to job creation or expansion. The 2008 grants are due in at the end of March, 2008. Currently the eligible counties are Dearborn, Franklin, Union, Jackson, Jefferson, Decatur, Bartholomew, Ripley, Fayette and Jennings. City Council will review the program effectiveness and value to the City this fall and determine whether it returns next year and at what funding level. |
