Microenterprise Assistance Funding Survey
Dear Business Owners:

The City of Easthampton, with assistance from the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, is working on a competitive grant application to support economic and community development efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a regional grant application that includes the towns (and businesses) of Easthampton, Granby, Hadley, Hatfield, Southampton, South Hadley, and Westhampton.

We are using this survey to collect information that shows the level of interest/need for Microenterprise Assistance grant funds and to establish a wait list of potential local businesses that would be interested in grant funding. Submitting this information does not guarantee that you or the City will receive grant funding. If grant funding is received by the City, grants of up to $10,000 will then be made available for eligible microenterprise businesses. Eligibility requirements are determined by the MA Department of Housing and Community Development and are posted here: https://easthamptonma.gov/index.php/planning.

Regardless of whether you think you have an eligible microenterprise, please take a few moments to answer the following questions. ALL information you provide here is strictly confidential and will be kept confidential in the Springfield office of the PVPC. If you have questions, please contact Ted Harvey at (413) 781-6045 or tharvey@pvpc.org.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
