Spotsylvania, VA – May 28, 2013 — The premise of the Business Incentive Grant (BIG) program is to create quality employment opportunities and expand the tax base by offering new or expanding small businesses cash grants to partially defray the costs associated with start-up operations or expansion projects, thereby freeing business capital at a time when it is most urgently needed. This Economic Development Authority (EDA)/small business partnership benefits the Spotsylvania County through an increased tax base, expanded job opportunities, and increased payroll in the Spotsylvania community.

Applications for the next round of the Business Incentive Grant program are due on June 1, 2013. Visit http://americanhosting.us/SpotsyEDA/?page_id=23 to learn more about this program and apply, or call Economic Development directly at 507-7210 with questions.
