Marquette, MI: Taco Truck Grabs Grant Jump Start « My Article Monkey!:
"MARQUETTE – With a $7,775 grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Dia de los Tacos food truck owner Mike Walker is looking to upgrade his restaurant on wheels.
 “We started out with a pretty small amount of seed money and bringing in that influx of cash is really going to help us be a bit more stable,” Walker said.
 The grant is part of the MEDC’s Mobile Cuisine Start up Program, which is intended to “expand the mobile cuisine, or food truck, industry throughout Michigan,” according to an MEDC-issued press release.
 The program provided one-time grants of up to $10,000 to new food truck businesses or to growing pre-existing businesses.
It required at least a 25 percent match from the business, though projects with a higher match were scored more favorably."
