It is all the more crucial that we support our neighbors and friends who have been and will continue to be crucial to the livelihood of our communities. And, thanks to Venture North, the program could be extended to small businesses throughout Antrim County.” “We could not be more pleased to have Antrim County be the first grant round of the 2021 RRP,” said Laura Galbraith, President of Venture North. “Thanks to the unyielding persistence of the Bellaire Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation that raised $24,000 from generous donors, we were also able to allocate $20,000. Funds raised by the Bellaire Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation will be allocated to small businesses in the geographic area they serve, including Bellaire, Alden, Central Lake and Mancelona.
