Unfortunately I don’t qualify 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🙃🙁 Business has to have a Brick N Motar location & you have to have been operating for a year ➕! Very detailed informative video. 2 hours is extremely long though 😂 next time try to shorten it up lol. Finding grants for your business can be tedious but I’m hanging in there 💪🏾🙌🏾❤‼️
Great question @rogerlund1754. NuMarket uses its own platform to host the campaigns and also to send out credits. Goals vary widely, the team works with you to set a realistic one that helps your business.
This was terrific. What is the actual mechanism that was used to raise the funds? Was it a traditional GoFundMe process that simply provided this type of payback to the investor? Was it an ongoing fundraising effort or was it during a finite period of time? How does one set a realistic goal?
Covington Kentucky is Loserville,. It's Police (Perpetration) Department has a long history if using excessive force. I am a disabled nurse ,senior citizen, and unarmed.In 2021 the shot me in the BACK with a Taser resulting in permanent injury. I am one of MANY people they have used it on, they even used excessive force on the woman (another cop) who is now the Sheriff of Hamilton County Ohio where Cincinnati is Charmaine McGuffey. BOYCOTT ALL BUSINESS IN COVINGTON KENTUCKY UNTIL COVINGTON COPS START GOING TO PRISON.
Are you people drunk? I live here and Macon is a crap hole. Crime is widespread and if you want to get mugged by a homeless person then go downtown. "Lester the idiot" is a joke. All he does is focus on the drunks downtown but lets the rest of Macon get robbed, shot and murdered. Congrats on all the focus on a 10 block span of Macon. Please save some money for the rest of our funerals. Thanks Lester.....for not a damn thing.
It was made in around 1978. My father Jared Shlaes was one of the people behind it and appears all through it. Much of it was filmed in Rapid City South Dakota. I know because he brought me with him for the filming. I'm pleased to see how well it holds up.
Thank you for this informative webinar and thank you AMEX for this incredible grant opportunity! I greatly appreciate the work of the Main Street team and organization to support so many small businesses in historic communities.
Been through Laramie several times. Considered it for my retirement home. Bit too small though. Get off I-80 and go up north about 7 blocks and it's the University of Wyoming. Go up about 5 more blocks and it's the north edge of town. Nice college town. But I would get cabin fever soon. And the winds! Lordy, turn in the wind machine to 45 mph sustained winds, add in -10° cold and see how long you can take that. Yikes.
Really smart use of social media to connect with folks. Hatching the plan for our video with a few of our co-collaborators here in Princeton, NJ. We're pretty close to Brooklyn too and would love to host you some time! Welcome Erin!
My nephew loved Laramie. He didn’t want to leave after his undergrad degree so he stayed to get his Masters. We attended his graduation. Nice town. Wide open spaces.
