Lickety Split and The Plant Connector also secured Backing Small Businesses grants through Main Street America and American Express, supporting equipment upgrades and an outdoor mobile plant cart.

In other big news, Assets for Artists received an $80,000 Small Business Technical Assistance grant from MassDevelopment to expand advising, training, and access to capital for entrepreneurs, strengthening the broader creative and small business community.
