The Nevada Economic Development Council (NEDC), in partnership with the City of Nevada and Main Street Nevada, is pleased to announce the launch of the Revitalize Nevada Business Grant Program, a new initiative designed to encourage business investment, support job creation and retention, and foster continued economic growth in the community. Both the City and NEDC have committed $25,000 to fund this initiative. Grant awards are subject to available funding, and applications will be reviewed competitively based on the program’s adopted criteria and overall community benefit.
Eligible uses of grant funds may include:
- Building improvements and renovations
- Purchase of machinery, equipment, or tools
- Marketing and advertising initiatives
- Signage improvements
- Certain utility-related expenses
- Other eligible investments that support business growth and development.
Grant awards of up to $25,000 are available for qualifying small business projects.
Applications for the inaugural funding round will be accepted beginning July 1, 2026, through August 25, 2026. All complete applications received by the deadline will be evaluated according to the program’s adopted guidelines and criteria.
This grant is just one of the ways NEDC supports local businesses. Whether a business is considering an expansion, a renovation project, a new concept, or simply has questions about available resources, NEDC encourages businesses to reach out and connect. Our goal is to support businesses at every stage, whether or not they participate in this grant program.
Projects located within the Main Street District are also encouraged to connect with Main Street Nevada to learn about additional resources and assistance that may be available.
