In the 2021-2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Plan, the City identified the need to improve and expand employment opportunities for low-to-moderate income persons in the City of Hagerstown.  The Microenterprise Grant Program was developed as a means to address this opportunity for growth as well as to assist with the following goals:

  • Support and encourage new job creation, job retention, and employment and job training services for low-to-moderate       income residents
  • Plan and promote the revitalization of vacant commercial spaces; and,
  • Support business and commercial growth through business stabilization and/or business expansion.
