SPECIAL PROJECTS

One recent success is the major increase in revenue attributed to manufacturing sales tax growth. With that growth of revenue, the MDD has projects scheduled that will lead to the increase in the quality of life for the citizens of Early and additional business growth and development opportunities. Many of those projects are related to the new Town Center Development which will be discussed on another page. The MDD is also very invested in grant programs to assist local businesses to continue to thrive. This year the MDD has budgeted $100,000 for local economic development grants.

During 2020, the MDD was able give several “Small Business Grants” in order to help those businesses during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The City plans to continue budgeting money each fiscal year in order to provide grants such as these in the future. Several projects around town have been completed thanks to the MDD’s financial support to its businesses.
