Grants for Tahoe business owners

South Lake Tahoe small businesses have the opportunity to tap into a $300,000 grant the city was awarded from California Housing and Community Development.
A business with no more than five employees is eligible to get free assistance to create a website, marketing plan or financial advice.
This grant helps the city continue the Microenterprise Assistance Program it stared in 2006 with a similar $500,000 grant. By February 2009, the funds had been used by 30 participants who received financial advice, marketing assistance, and help with creating logos, flyers and business brochures. Nine websites were created
To participate, contact Nancy Kerry, who helped convince the state of Tahoe’s worthiness, at (530) 542-6043 or Nancy Ficco at (530) 542-7413.
