HARBOR CENTRE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
COVID-19 FINANCIAL RELIEF GRANT

Grant Overview

The Harbor Centre Improvement District (BID) exists to provide resources to maintain and enhance the business environment for its members. With the current state orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sheboygan businesses have seen a detrimental decline in customers and revenue, impacting their ability to survive.

The BID board of directors is taking action to ensure our small businesses receive financial support during this time. The BID will release $90,000 of funds reserved for 2020 community enhancement projects and event support to instead support our small businesses. This will help ensure Harbor Center, Riverfront and Downtown businesses continue to operate through and after this economic hardship.
