Energy Grants are Available
If your business or building needs to upgrade
its energy systems, now may be the time to do
so.
The Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant
Program will be accepting applications
between now and May 1, 2009 (or until funds
are exhausted).
This program offers grants for 25% up to
$25,000 to acquire certain pieces of
equipment or adopt certain processes that
promote energy efficiency.
The
STMS website has more details and links
to the
guidelines and applications.
It is not often that small businesses, the
size we find in our downtowns, have a grant
opportunity like this one.
Don't ignore it!
If you need assistance in completing your
application, please contact the
Main Street office.
We want to see as many of these grants as
possible in
Souderton and Telford.

For our February Business Roundtable,
we are
going to do something a little bit different.
We will be going to the Tilly Mint
Tea Room on Chestnut Street in
Souderton. Because she is opening just for
us, we need to fill the 24 available seats.
To do that and to make it more fun, we are
going to be holding a joint Roundtable
with
the new Indian Valley Business Network
Group.
This will give our regular participants a
chance to meet the members of that group and
network with a new, larger group.
Trish needs a full count by Friday, February
6 so she can make enough food. The cost is
$20 plus tax and tip for a full high tea with
savory, salad, mini sandwiches, scones and
deserts.
Please budget two hours from our start
time
of 12:30 pm until we are finished at 2:30 pm.
Contact Erika by phone or email to
RSVP.
Don't miss this relaxing opportunity to
network with new faces.
