Eligible projects must have a completion date of June 30, 2014. In addition, small businesses must be  for-profit enterprises that are corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, or sole proprietorships with 100 or fewer employees.

The grant program reimburses small businesses at 50 percent of their project costs, up to $9,500 per business per year.
