Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone announced that $25 million in grants from the JumpSMART small business downtown investment program will provide funding to support growth and success.

"This really does represent a comprehensive approach driven by economic development planning to help the kind of vibrancy and strength in our downtowns that support small businesses there and across the county and help all of us in Suffolk County," says Bellone.

The proposal portal is open now until Sept. 29.
