The City of Norwalk prides itself on being able to continuously be responsive to our local businesses and entrepreneurs. As a result, the City released the Small Business & Main Street Program which is continuously funded to be responsive to needs on a yearly basis. The program is funded through a capital budget request for $150,000 every year. In the past funds have been used to:
- Install holiday decorations and lighting
- Provide new trash bins along main corridors to keep our streets clean
- Funding for advertising for businesses through Visit Norwalk
- Providing COVID-19 Business Assistance Grants
- Fund the Storefront Improvement Program
- Host Business Roundtables
- Launch the Norwalk Economic Development Center
- Launch the Kiva Loan Program
If you have questions about the program please reach out to Sabrina Church at schurch@norwalkct.org.
