The Brookhaven Chambers of Commerce Coalition recognize that our small business communities are always challenged.  With this in mind the BCCC is offering 2 enticement grants for this year to help offset operational expenditures.  This criteria differs from our small business improvement grant and allows the money awarded to be used for FUNCTIONAL COSTS.  Guidelines and contact info are below.  Your letter of request is your ‘formal application’.   Applications will be judged independently and ONLY one per business.  Reflecting the needs of the business will determine the amount of the grant.  Brookhaven Enticement Grants-$1,000 & 500
