Are you an entrepreneur looking for a storefront and some cash to get your business started?
The Municipality of Leamington is launching a creative new competition to fill empty storefronts in Uptown Leamington.
Reinvent This Space invites entrepreneurs to submit an idea of how their business would reinvent a vacant storefront.
A panel of local business leaders will review the proposals and select a shortlist of finalists. The finalists will receive mentoring and support to help develop their plans before they make a final pitch to the panel.
The winner will get a grant of up to up to $15,000 to pay for their rent.
"There are so many great ideas and potential entrepreneurs in our community," said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. "I think we're going to see a lot of really exciting ideas come out of this competition."
Applications are open until early July 2019.
