ICECA Fast Track Grant Program

IRON COUNTY – In order to help attract new businesses to Iron County, the ICECA has established the Iron County Fast Track Grant Program.
The program will offer up to $2,500 to a start-up business that is selected by the ICECA Business Development Committee. The Committee is made up of five members with representation from the ICECA Board of Trustees, Iron County residents and municipality officials. The Committee will create scoring criteria based on the following guidelines:
Type of Business: The ICECA is seeking businesses that will create jobs, have the potential to complement other businesses and the community, and are not similar to an existing business located in the same city or township.
Business Plan: The Committee will review the start-up’s business plan to assess its viability and sustainability. Factors to be considered will be demand for products/services, funding, the experience of owners, number of potential employees, salaries and business location. The business plan should also include details on how the grant money will be used.
Interested parties must submit an application and business plan by April 10. Applications are available at iron.org and at the ICECA office located at 50 East Genesee Street in Iron River, MI. Completed applications and business plans can be emailed to zach@iron.org or can be mailed to or dropped off at the ICECA office.
