To uplift local entrepreneurs, Chairman Anthony Rodriguez, in collaboration with the Neighbors And Neighbors Association (NANA), has rolled out the 2025 Mom and Pop Small Business Grant Program for business owners within Miami-Dade’s District 10. Rodriguez's initiative offers up to $5,000 per eligible business to assist with costs ranging from equipment purchases to marketing, renovations, and even rent or mortgage expenses, signaling a potentially significant boost for small-scale operations in the community, as reported on the county's official website.
Application packets will be accessible beginning June 2 and remain available until June 13, obtainable either at the Commissioner Anthony Rodriguez District Office or can be found online; interested businesses must tick several boxes to qualify, including a minimum of one year in operation, for-profit status, no use of P.O. Boxes for mailing addresses, adherence to current county, city, and state registrations, and allowing home-based ventures to throw their hats in the ring.
To provide a deeper understanding of the process and requirements, a workshop is slated for June 12 at the Westchester Regional Library, and businesses can submit applications back at the District Office from June 16 through June 23, but take note—the office is closed on June 19. For those seeking further details or guidance, Victoria Goss from NANA stands ready at 305-756-0605 to field inquiries.
