The town of Christiansburg has recently introduced a program aimed at helping small businesses and those looking to start up. This initiative has been met with great excitement from local business owners, including Astleigh Hill, owner of the Chandlerie in downtown Christiansburg. According to Hill, small businesses are crucial to the community and downtown serves as its heartbeat.
The program offers participants the opportunity to pitch their ideas and potentially receive up to $5,000 in grants. Amanda Hebert, the small business solutions manager for the Town of Christiansburg, emphasizes that this grant amount could be life-changing for individuals in the area. In order to participate, individuals must be residents of Christiansburg, have a business idea to share, and be willing to discuss it in a safe environment.
Hill is thrilled about the level of support being provided for small businesses in Christiansburg. She sees it as a positive sign for the town’s growth and development. The program does require a $200 deposit, which will be returned upon completion and a successful business pitch.
