The nearly $6.5 million SPARK Grant that Montgomery County had received has led to some success stories across the county according to the Montgomery County Action Council Director Trisha Purdon. One of the success stories is the Caney grocery that has been in the works for nearly ten years.

Purdon also brought up the “Shuttered Venue” Grant that might be rolling out this week and will be administered by the Small Business Administration. Purdon says this grant will help performance venues.
