25 Jan Grants Available for Kingsport Restaurants
The Kingsport Economic Development Board (KEDB) provides the funds to be distributed by the Kingsport Chamber. A total of $45,000 is available, giving restaurants the opportunity to receive up to $5,000 through what is called the Kingsport Outdoor Dining Enhancement Mini Grant Fund.
Outdoor dining has skyrocketed during a time of social distancing and adhering to CDC guidelines.
These businesses will be able to enhance or expand their outdoor dining options or establish and outdoor dining area through this program. Examples of eligible equipment available through this funding includes tables, chairs, umbrellas, heaters, tents, greenhouse or igloo installations, patio enclosure panels, lighting, electrical and more.
These grants will focus on the small businesses that experienced the most loss.
If this program goes as planned, additional funds may be made possible in the future.
