Northfield EDA approves e-commerce grant for local businesses

Northfield, MN (May 29, 2020)

Apply June 1 to June 30

The Northfield Economic Development Authority (EDA) approved a $15,000 grant program for
restaurants, eateries and retail shops in Northfield to help them build their online commerce
presence.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant stress on Northfield businesses. With fewer sitdown and in-store customers, the need for online commerce platforms has become vitally
important for businesses to compete in the current economic environment.

“E-commerce platforms are cost prohibitive for some of our businesses. This grant can help
alleviate costs associated with building a commerce website,” said Nate Carlson, Northfield’s
economic development coordinator.

Businesses with 20 or fewer full-time equivalent employees are eligible to receive a grant for
50% of costs associated with e-commerce investment up to $1,500.
The business must have been operational since January 1, 2020 and their business address must
be within the Northfield city limits.

This is a first-come, first-served reimbursement program.
Businesses interested in the e-commence grant program should contact the Northfield Economic
Development Authority.
