Celebrating Black-Owned Businesses in Grant County

Juneteenth is an important day of remembrance for the freedom that African Americans received in 1865 after generations of sanctioned enslavement. We, at the Grant County Economic Growth Council, recognize the significance of this day and choose to honor it by praising the progress that has been made in our local community, economy, and society at large. As we celebrate the opportunity for all individuals to be a part of our business community, we remain committed to actions, not words.
