Last night the Antigo Finance Personnel and Legislative committee received their first request for the Downtown Entrepreneurial Grant Program. Belle's Smokehouse will be located at 800 5th Avenue, the location of the former Michael's Family Restaurant. The eatery will be a year round carry out only restaurant to serve slow cooked/smoked brisket of beef, pork ribs and grilled Filipion pork barbeque on a stick. The anticipated open date is August 1st of this year but may be sooner.
The program is a partnership between the city, county, economic development, and CoVantage Credit Union. Funds may be awarded for up to 25% of eligible expenses up to a grant maximum of $15,000.00. Reimbursements will not be made until the business is open to the public and all paid receipts for eligible expenses are submitted.
