Grants

Statement of Appreciation: Grant Phase 2 Completion

"As we officially wrap up Phase 2 of this process, I want to express my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to apply for these grant funds. Running a heavy fabrication business requires balancing intense daily physical production with the constant need for strategic, high-tech upgrades. Opportunities like this grant are game-changers for independent shops like ours—allowing us to fast-track our capacity, invest in our crew's safety, and scale our operations to the next level.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and dedication to supporting local trades and businesses. We are excited about the potential to put these funds to work and build a stronger future for our team and our community."

  • Chin up everyone, we still have a few more days in this month to hear back. Hope for the best! I have appreciated this process so much, as it has given us hope that we may potentially be able to move forward! Thank you Jobber! I'm am extremely grateful, even if the answer is no.

  • Has anyone received an email from them yet? I applied and submitted Phase 2. I wish everyone the best of luck and congratulate the ones that move forward!.

      Nope, Im in the same boat. They mentioned notifying everyone if they move forward or not.. but seems pretty delayed.

    There are so many of us out there who are looking for help. I feel so lucky to be in the running with all of you. Good luck to everyone. I have high hopes for all of us. We will press on and keep on keeping on until we achieve our goals!!! :) 

  • Any size grant would be a game changer for me. I run a very small drywall business. We are in need of new and better equipment. Good luck to everyone that applied! 

  • Yes!! This would really help our small plumbing shop to be able to do some new hires, and expand our reach. Good luck everyone !

  • This really is a fantastic opportunity. As a new asphalt business, the opportunity to be able to purchase some specialized equipment would be a complete game changer for us!! Good luck to everyone who applied!! 

  • I agree wholeheartedly. We are small, very hands on, family owned and operated construction company. A grant for us would be a huge propeller forward. That's the kind of leg up small companies really need in this economy
