The DeWitt County Development Council is prepared to begin its next round of grants for small businesses.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, DCDC Executive Director Curt Homann told Regional Radio they will have about $14,000 available for local businesses to take advantage of.

Homann indicates one of the benefits of having multiple grant opportunities in a calendar year is if previous applicants did not receive funding, they can take advantage of this opportunity.

The panel put together for this round of grant funding wants to know about how a project or piece of equipment will positively impact the business.

Homann hopes to have the details of the grants put out on the DCDC's Facebook page by the end of the week.
