WI Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez promotes ‘Main Street Bounceback Grant Program’ in Marinette

MARINETTE, Wis. (WLUC) - Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez (D-WI) promoted the “Main Street Bounceback Grant” program in Marinette on Thursday.

In Marinette County alone, 58 businesses received $10,000 in state aid. Rodriguez said businesses from every Wisconsin county can apply.

Rodgriguez added that her goal is to promote the grant program, as Democratic Governor Tony Evers proposed a $50 million dollar expansion to the grant program in the 2023 budget.
