Wisconsin Ag Connection - 08/27/2015

State agriculture officials are encouraging local food business owners to take advantage of the Buy Local Buy Wisconsin program. Proposals for grant-funded projects are now being accepted from individuals, groups, businesses and organizations involved in Wisconsin agriculture, food processing, food distribution, food warehousing, retail food establishments or agricultural tourism sites. Proposals could include collaborations or partnerships. Eligible project expenses include operating expenses, real estate and equipment.

Past recipients report increased sales and visibility for their products after putting their Buy Local Buy Wisconsin grant funds to work.

There are $200,000 of grant funds available this year. The maximum grant award is $50,000 per project. Grant applicants must provide cash or in-kind match equivalent to or greater than 50 percent of the total project cost.

Pre-proposals must be received at DATCP by September 14. After an internal review of pre-proposals, qualified projects will be invited to complete a full proposal application and participate in an interview.

The announcement of selected projects will be made in early 2016.
