Live Breaking News & Updates on Better middlebury partnership executive director

With additional funding up to five businesses will receive $20,000 cash grants
Vermont Business Magazine The Better Middlebury Partnership (BMP) announced today that as a result of generous donations from two community organizations, Kick Start Middlebury has doubled the size of the grants offered in its business recruitment effort, from $10,000 to $20,000 in start-up cash. Now with a total of $110,000 cash at its disposal, plus services donated by area businesses, the Kick Start Middlebury program is poised to change the town’s business and retail landscape. 
The increase comes after a donation from Table 21, a non-profit founded by the Congregational Church of Middlebury (UCC).  After the church received a generous charitable gift earlier this year, Rev. Andy Nagy-Benson, senior pastor and president of Table 21, assembled a board of directors that issued $280,000 in grants to selected Middlebury restaurants and area farms.  Table 21 also provided $20,000 to fund a current program in which Middlebury retailers distribute $20 gift certificates to redeem at local restaurants.  The non-profit has recently donated $50,000 to BMP’s Kick Start Middlebury program and will administer another round of grants to assist more small businesses in Middlebury in the coming weeks.
