Register online to learn more about the next round of Direct Grant funding opportunity.
In November 2023, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced $73 million in grant awards to establish Small Business Support Hubs across the state. A group of local economic development organizations collaborated to apply for funds and were awarded a total of $3,426,015 over three years to set up and operate the Central Upper Peninsula Small Business Support Hub (The Hub), covering Alger, Baraga, Delta, Dickinson, Marquette, Menominee, and Schoolcraft counties.
The Hub is made possible through collaboration with many partners including the LSCP, Accelerate U.P., Innovate Marquette SmartZone, Northern Michigan University, Small Business Development Center Upper Peninsula Region, Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, and Sault Tribe Thrive.
The Dickinson Area Economic Development Alliance is pleased to work with the Dickinson area Small Business Support Hub Navigator, Jose Laynez. Jose hosts office hours in Dickinson County Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and at UP MichiganWorks 127 S Stephenson Ave, Suite 211, Iron Mountain.
