Mayor Steven T. Noble on December 1, 2023 announced the awardees of the ARPA Business Promotion Grant program. They are the three local business district organizations: the Kingston Waterfront Business Association, the Midtown Business Alliance, and the Kingston Uptown Business Association.
The ARPA Business Promotion Grant program was designed to assist in a campaign for promoting Kingston’s many attractions, with a focus on local small businesses. With funds from the City of Kingston’s Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant, this program is intended to respond to the negative economic impacts of the pandemic by supporting small businesses, particularly public-facing and hospitality-oriented enterprises. Each organization will receive a $16,500 award to promote their respective business districts.

We were proud to offer the ARPA Small Business Grant to 150 different local businesses, and are so pleased to now grant our local business district organizations this funding, so they can collectively continue to recover from the pandemic.
