A Mission of Love
When Kelli Vasso started her business about 10 years ago, she wasn’t thinking about building a catering company. She was a homeschooling mom of five looking for a way to help support her family—and a creative outlet of her own.
A Homie Through and Through
TownieSwag, a woman-owned business creating handcrafted products including totes, pillows, tea towels, wine bottle bags, aprons, matted prints, T-shirts, mugs, and baseball caps inspired by the places, phrases, and personalities that make each town unique.
Baking Up a Safe Space
Tony Palmieri never planned to own another business. After 22 years running a flower shop in Middletown, he had moved on to freelance work and set design. But he had always baked, a tradition passed down through generations of his family.
Business Operating Grants
The Middlesex County Revitalization Commission provides grants of up to $25,000 to qualified small businesses in Middlesex County. The grants are designed to provide operating assistance for small businesses, allowing them to continue operations and keep residents employed.
Working collaboratively to encourage growth.
The Middlesex County Revitalization Commission (MCRC) represents the 15 cities and towns in Middlesex County.
As a whole, the County is home to businesses in every industry—manufacturing, healthcare, retail, hospitality, fintech, the arts, marine, professional services, education, food and beverage, agriculture, and tourism—yet each municipality is unique in its history, government structure, and business communities.
MCRC is comprised of the chief executive official, or their delegate, from each of the municipalities, along with the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce, working collaboratively to further the mission of encouraging business growth and stimulating economic development through a broad range of services and resources.
