The committee wants more money next year for small business improvement grants because the current program has been drawing down most of its budget and the maximum grant was raised to $7,500. For residents, that could mean more support for storefront improvements in Homer Glen commercial areas. The committee also plans a new promotion for service businesses and other non-restaurant businesses, using printed coupons and the Village newsletter to reach households. Restaurant Week was put on hold because not enough restaurants signed up, and the committee may meet with restaurant owners to plan a better promotion schedule.
