Michigan Main Street program provides grants to UP businesses

MARQUETTE, MI— Two small U.P. businesses have received grants through the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Match on Main program.

It provides funding to communities that participate as a select and master level community in the Michigan Main Street program. The communities then award grants of up to $25,000 to eligible businesses seeking support.

Marquette’s Peace Pie Company has been given $25,000, as has Houghton’s Keweenaw Coffee Works.

The grants were part of nearly $500,000 awarded to 19 communities around the state.
