JP Centre/South Main Streets has awarded grants to nine businesses in the JP Centre/South district to assist with their reopening expenses and outdoor seating. Grants of $1000 were awarded to nine businesses in JP Centre/South.
JP Centre/South Main Streets has kicked off a new project team to help businesses in the district become age-friendly, dementia-friendly, and accessible for people with disabilities.
On Wednesday, August 28, we hosted a workshop with the New England ADA Center, “At Your Service: Welcoming Customers with Disabilities.” Presenter Stacey Hart from the Institute for Human Centered Design gave insight and instruction to the audience of business owners, employees, and interested attendees.
Congratulations to our Business of the Year, Little Dipper, and our Volunteer of the Year, Melvin Tutiven! JP Centre/South is very grateful for your contributions to our district. As Mayor Walsh said in his comments, our communities can’t run without the involvement of our businesses and volunteers!
