I am trying to get a grant for furthering my small business, opened Sept 07. Adjoining Pike State Forest in Pike Co. Ohio. Low income area. I am trying to provide services in the area as well as jobs for the area. There is not much here except for recreation. 4 miles out of Bainbridge, Ohio. Please help, business is booming and need to expand very soon. I own 1 vacation rental adjoining Pike State Forest and 1.8 miles from Pike Lake. We have had to turn away several people because we are booked, would like to expand to purchase 1 other house and build more on our 22 acres. Also put in a miniature golf course which would in turn provide jobs for the area. There are very few jobs here as it is. Again, I need help.
Thanks!!

Unless there is special funding for that area, a grant just to make you more profit is not going to happen, Are you a non profit group ? Do have you a charity going on to help people in that area. You need to look into small business loans, or non profit programs to do some larger scale training or the such for people

Chuck,
Yes, I would like to make more, but my purpose is more than that, like I said, we live in a low income area and there are not many jobs, this would create jobs for the area and bring people here. The main purpose is to help our family situation financially. Thanks for your reply.
