Lake Lure Rebuilding Together Grant Fund - Businesses and Commercial Property Owners - Central Business District of Lake Lure

Mountain BizWorks is excited to announce that the Lake Lure Rebuilding Together Grant is now open for applications! As part of the Rural Rebuilding Together Grant Program, this fund was created to support small businesses in the central downtown business district that were significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Your partnership and support have been incredibly valuable — and will be even more crucial in this next phase as we work to spread the word to businesses in the community.

Key Grant Details

Our goal with this grant program is to activate the downtown business district, knowing that a thriving downtown benefits the entire community. Here’s how the program works:

The Rural Rebuilding Together Grants program provides direct grant awards to small businesses in the central business districts that suffered physical property damage from Hurricane Helene. The grant is designed to help rebuild and restore your unique and diverse local business community while also helping businesses retain and re-hire the talented people who work for them. Eligible businesses can request up to $25,000 in grant funding to cover costs related to the storm that were not fully covered by insurance or other funding sources.
