Free rent for your business through the Second Project Pop-Up Experience
It’s back by popular demand! The first Project Pop-Up was so successful that Downtown Delaware and the Delaware Economic Development Office have announced a second run here in 2013.
Entrepreneurs can apply now for golden opportunity in one of six commercial business districts. The goal is to offer these business owners a limited risk opportunity while also stimulating economic activity at several locations in participating communities statewide: Wilmington, Middletown, Dover, Smyrna, Milton and Milford. (For details and photos, visit the Project Pop-Up website.)
Applications will be accepted from small business owners through Sunday, Aug. 11, 2013. A panel of representatives from DEDO, Downtown Delaware, and participating Main Street towns will review applications to select the best qualified applicant for each space.
One qualified business owner will be selected for each participating property and will be notified by Aug. 26. In preparation for opening the business, winners will participate in a one‐on‐one consultation with a business coach between Sept. 9-13 to ensure likelihood of a successful launch of the business by Oct. 1, and then continued running of the business.
