Table of Contents
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam recently announced that the Metropolitan Business League of Richmond and Henrico is among the community organizations and local business owners that will benefit from more than $4.4 million in grants for 33 investment projects statewide.
The programs, administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, will create and support business development, economic recovery, and the redevelopment of industrial and commercial structures.
The Metropolitan Business League will receive $100,000 from the Industrial Revitalization Fund, which will be used to expand the capacity of its existing “We Care” recovery and resiliency project and provide relief funds for small businesses impacted by COVID-19 and social justice demonstrations.
Through this program, MBL provides direct grants, financial counseling, technical assistance, and corporate training to businesses in the Richmond metropolitan region, directly serving Black and Brown business owners in low- to moderate-income areas.
