The City of Vincennes has been partnering with INDOT for the last several years in order to utilize a RR Earmark secured by the Mooney administration. This fund was responsible for the reconstruction of the 2^nd and Niblack intersection.

ROUND 3 – SMALL BUSINESS GRANT

July 15, 2020 by City of Vincennes

Round 3 of the Small Business Stabilization Grant Program in Partnership with the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs

On April 30, 2020, the City of Vincennes was awarded funding from the Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs to launch the Small Business Stabilization Grant Program to provide short-term relief to businesses within the corporate limits of Vincennes that are seeing a reduction in revenue because of COVID-19.

The City of Vincennes recognizes the need to support small businesses that are struggling to access capital and keep their doors open in response to COVID-19. Small Business Stabilization grants for local businesses will be made in an effort to mitigate losses experienced by our small business community.

While the first round yielded several applications, funding is still available. In order to assist more businesses, the Revolving Loan Committee increased the number of employees for eligible businesses. Grant amounts will range from $2,000 – $10,000 based on the number of employees.

Applications will be accepted until August 7, 2020.

If you would like more information, you can email Cheryl Hacker at chacker@vincennes.in.gov or call the Mayor’s Office at 812-882-7285.
