The White Box Grant program helps property owners bring vacant commercial first-floor spaces into compliance with current state and local building code, fire safety code, and accessibility requirements, thus creating a functional "white box" space ready for customization and occupancy by a business. The program provides a matching grant of $25,000 to $75,000 for first-floor, interior renovation expenses to meet current codes required to receive a certificate of occupancy, as demonstrated by stamped architectural or engineering drawings.

06.27 – Learn how to maximize the digital presence for your business through the usage of various website and digital optimization tools. This virtual business development class will be led by the Business Development Services Team of the SBDC. 

07.14 – The project to widen the interchange at I-475 and U.S. 20A has long been a priority of your Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, and it is now becoming a reality.

As a business leader, you have questions about what this might mean for your operations, how construction could impact the Toledo Region and how it will benefit the businesses in the area. Join us July 14 with officials from the Ohio Department of Transportation to get a better understanding of what to expect as the project begins and get your questions answered.

08.12 – You deserve to know the leaders whose decisions impact your business. The Summer Legislative Reception presented by Charter Communications puts you face to face with elected officials, giving you the chance to build relationships with public officials and strengthen the connection between our public and private communities.
