| Please Describe Your Project In Detail | I owned three car washes in Chattanooga. I have had issues retaining employees and maintaining the income to stay out of the red due to the pandemic. Business has slowed down enough that I can no longer afford to keep one location open, and I do not wish to see the same happen to the other two. I could use the money to stay afloat and keep paying my employees as we weather through this pandemic. |
| Please explain how your project meets the requirements of the American Rescue Plan | It would offset some of the economic impact that this pandemic has had on my business and my employees by allowing me to continue operating and keeping my employees working. |
| Where would your project take place? | 401 Signal Mountain Rd and 3640 Hixon Pike Suite B (My other car washes) |
| How much will your project cost in total? | 25000.00 |
| Do you have any matching funding sources from other local governments, private entities, non-profits, or philanthropic entities for your project? | No |
| Please describe the source and list amounts of any other funding. | |
| What portion of the project are you asking the city to fund? | |
| If funded, when would your project start? | February 4, 2022 |
| How long would your project take to complete? | Until business returns to normal levels |
| What milestones would you use to measure your project’s progress? | Continuing to stay open for increments of time, and hopefully being able to reopen a third car wash eventually. |
| How would you ensure accountability and transparency throughout the project lifecycle? | I don't have any other option than to be accountable with the funding. I would need it to continue to operate the two remaining car washes, and if I didn't they would both slowly go under. |
| If successful, how would your project benefit the community? | It would allow me to provide employment to members of the community as well as a service to others. |
| How will you attract community buy-in for your project? | I will continue to employ the people that I can, and try to provide the best service to my ability |
| Is there anything else you would like us to know about your project? |
