The Neighborhood Opportunity Fund will give $100K grants to 32 businesses
The city’s Neighborhood Opportunity Fund, created by Mayor Rahm Emanuel last year to “leverage the downtown development boom,” will give 32 local business on the south, southwest, and west sides grants of $100,000 each, DNAinfo Chicago reports. “These investments are going to directly support neighborhood entrepreneurs on Chicago’s south, southwest and west sides,” Emanuel said. “But they will also expand quality food options, create neighborhood meeting places, support tech business growth, and generate new retail options.” [DNAinfo Chicago]
