Galesburg City Council on Tuesday night can approve two more grants from the Minority and/or Woman-owned Business Startup Assistance Program and Southside Occupancy Assistance Program. The first grants are for Brittany's Beautique which proposes to lease space at 1580 E Knox Street, Suite 3. Owner Brittany Tate's business will offer fashionable clothing and accessories both in-person and online and has requested grant funds to help build inventory and strengthen the business The KCAP Review Committee also recommends $3,200 in support from the Southside Occupancy Assistance Program for Brittany's Beautique, since her southside business is located in a unit that was vacant for 90+ days prior to her lease. The other grant is for All-Star Sports Academy which looks to re-open the Skate Palace roller rink. Owner Michael Spinks also proposes using a portion of the building for a sports coaching business. Council documents say the startup funds will allow Spinks to purchase necessary equipment for the business, which is anticipated to open in early 2023. The business is planning to hire multiple part-time employees in the first year and additional employees as booked activities increase. All-Star Sports Academy already received funds from the Southside Occupancy program earlier in 2022. Grant Funds for Discovery Depot Galesburg City Council on Tuesday will take a vote on a grant agreement for the Discovery Depot. As WGIL previously reported the Children's Museum is in need of additional funds for operational expenses, and in the past was included in a Tax Increment Financing District. TIF District 1 recently dissolved after existing since 1985. Those funds are no longer available to provide financial assistance for capital projects at the museum. The resolution before the Council would authorize a grant agreement with Discovery Depot for $60,000 towards operational expenses in 2023. The amount will be paid on a prorated monthly basis in the amount of $5,000 per month. Discovery Depot shall be required to submit quarterly financial reports as well as an annual report to the City. The Council will meet at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall at 55 W. Tompkins St.
