Wicked Water Graphics owners Dave Kelso and Linda Engelhardt took a break from their South Paris-based business to accept the grant funding provided by CCFC, Norway Savings Bank and The Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Boston.

 

PARIS — CCFC distributed $50,000 to small business owners in the restaurant/food service, hospitality/lodging, barber shop, and commercial screen-printing industries who met the eligibility requirements.  The businesses are located across four Maine counties, including the Towns of Bethel, Dixfield, Lewiston, Norway, Oxford, Portland, South Paris, and Winthrop.

“The pandemic has hit our small business community hard and making up for lost revenue is challenging during these uncertain times,” said Christopher DeCato, Vice President of Client Service Operations at CCFC. “The business owners were grateful to receive these grant funds as they head into the winter months.”
