Company Shops Market on TV today: News 14 Carolina (Charlotte)

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

“Cities receive grant to revitalize downtown businesses” say’s News 14 Carolina. Governor Bev Perdue spoke in Burlington today, announcing the $298,000 Main Street Solutions grant that is being awarded to Burlington for use in renovation of the future home of Company Shops Market.

From the News 14 website:

Those who live in Burlington quite often travel out of town for their shopping needs, but pretty soon that’s going to change thanks to an upcoming and innovative downtown business.

“This project will help us see things flow and expand into the rest of downtown,” said Burlington Downtown Corporation Director Anne Morris.

Gov. Bev Perdue announced the city is one of just a few in the state to receive a Main Street Solutions Grant to help revitalize downtown business. “I really do I believe this little investment in our tax dollars in something that’s already happening here in Burlington,” said Perdue. “It is a really important spark to rekindle the partnership between the state and this community.”

The $300,000 is being used to help get the ball rolling on the Company Shops Market Grocery Cooperative, a soon to be 7,000-square foot natural food store that will offer fresh meat and produce with a focus on locally grown, made and packaged products…..
