I can't believe it. Just when Everything was going wrong for me!" declared Rick Mizuta of Joe's Repair Shop. “We would like to thank city staff, Mayor Silvestrini, and the Millcreek City Council, for making this grant available to the local small businesses in Millcreek,” said Carol Elliott, owner of women’s clothing boutique Palletti and chair of the Highland Drive Business Alliance. “It is very much appreciated. The money will be put to good use.” Staff from many departments in Millcreek worked hard to notify the business community of this opportunity and to help get grant applications processed. The money comes entirely through federal CARES Act funds passed through to the City. Apart from Salt Lake City, no municipality in the valley has had as many businesses receive money from this program as has Millcreek. Those who missed the deadline or are otherwise not eligible for the city’s retail grant are encouraged to apply for Salt Lake County’s Small Business Impact Grant.
