Mayor Sword-Heath and the Adrian City Commission are pleased to announce that they have authorized the City to apply for the Michigan Economic Development Corporation “Match on Main” COVID Recovery Program.

In addition, the businesses included in the application must not have received or been approved to receive support from the Michigan Strategic Fund’s Small Business Relief Program (Grant or Loan) as administered in conjunction with regional economic development organizations or an MEDC Match on Main Grant within the last 24 months.
