Business associations receive funding
The City of Minneapolis recently approved $212,000 in funding to business associations through its Business Association Assistance Program. The program aims to strengthen local business organizations and help stabilize commercial areas so that they contribute to the economic growth of their members and assist the city in attainment of its economic development objectives.
Business associations are funded on a program yearly basis (June 1 through May 31). In May, guidelines and request for proposals were mailed to all groups and individuals listed in the Business Association Directory.
