Local entrepreneurs in Kern County, California receive grants to expand their small businesses. One of the recipients is Stephanie Chavez, the owner of Sweet Bites N Ice, a dessert food truck. Chavez was awarded $40,000 to help her open a new location at the Maya Retail Center on California Avenue. The grants are part of the city’s Entrepreneurship Grant Program, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act. Since June, the program has approved $335,000 for 33 local businesses. Chavez expressed her excitement about the expansion and how the grant will create new job opportunities. The grants will continue to be awarded until the $1.5 million funds run out.
