As the residents of Asheville reel from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the community spirit is more important than ever. In light of this recent natural disaster, preservation grants are being made available to help support local businesses and organizations affected. These grants range from $500 to $5,000 and are specifically designed for projects that contribute to the local economy and heritage through brick-and-mortar improvements.
The grants serve as an excellent opportunity for those looking to enhance or restore their physical spaces, ensuring they can continue to serve the community effectively. Whether you’re a small business owner looking to repair damages or a nonprofit aiming to revitalize your space, this financial assistance can be a lifeline.
Interested parties should note a few important guidelines for this current grant cycle:
The Hurricane Helene Relief and Recovery Hub has been set up as a central resource for all community members. As updates come in, the hub will continually provide information on the recovery efforts, available resources, and additional support mechanisms. It is a go-to spot for anyone needing guidance or assistance during this challenging time.
The focus on brick-and-mortar projects is a strategic one. Physical businesses are often the heart and soul of local communities, offering jobs and services that can significantly affect the area’s economy. By providing grants to support these structures, the community ensures that once-reliable establishments can reopen stronger than before, contributing to the recovery and growth of Asheville as a whole.
With the emotional and financial challenges that come with recovering from a hurricane, seeing tangible support available for restoration gives hope to many in the city. Building back what was lost is no small feat, but with community support and these grant opportunities, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
In these tough times, it’s crucial for everyone in Asheville to come together. Whether you’re an affected business owner, a concerned citizen wanting to help, or anyone in between, there are ways to contribute to the recovery journey. If you or someone you know can benefit from the preservation grants, take the step to apply and spread the word. Together, we will navigate this recovery and emerge even stronger as a community!
