Support for Entrepreneurs
Community One Stop for Growth
The Community One Stop for Growth serves as the primary platform for public economic development investment in the Commonwealth. It integrates 12 of the Commonwealth’s most sought community-focused economic development and housing grant programs into a single application portal and collaborative review process. This streamlined approach enhances the applicant experience and improves coordination among economic development programs and staff. Additionally, it shifts the Commonwealth from being a passive reviewer of funding requests to an active partner in shaping development strategies, priorities, and investments.
