Maryland Launches Project RestoreGovernor Hogan recently announced a $25 million initiative to revitalized downtowns and Main Streets. Project Restore will provide financial support to Maryland’s small businesses and commercial developers re-occupying or investing in vacant commercial and retail space. Through Project Restore, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development will offer rental grants and sales tax relief rebates to help offset startup costs and incentivize commercial investment in vacant spaces. Businesses that begin new or expanded operations in spaces that have not been generating sales tax receipts for the past six months or more will be eligible for the program. Small businesses of 50 or fewer employees will be eligible for additional benefits. Details on available incentives and eligibility guidelines are available online. |

Technical Training ClassroomLike many small businesses, we had to make a pivot during the pandemic, and moved our Technical Training Classroom program to a virtual platform. The response has been overwhelmingly positive and we are now reaching two and three times the audience we could accommodate at live events. Two classes are offered at no cost to small business owners and entrepreneurs each month. They cover a broad range of topics and feature subject-matter-experts from state agencies and small business resource organizations, as well as small business owners. Registration is now open for our classes on July 27th. |
