Delaware entrepreneurs can obtain rent-free commercial space for three months during the 2012 holiday season

This unique opportunity is intended to stimulate entrepreneurial activity and reduce downtown vacancies.

Project Pop-Up is designed to provide several Delaware entrepreneurs an opportunity to be “open for business” in select downtowns by offering commercial space, rent-free for three months during the 2012 holiday season. The success of the business in this temporary location may lead the entrepreneur to commit to a long long-term lease. Spaces are available in currently vacant properties in four designated Main Street communities: Dover, Middletown, Milford and Wilmington.

Sounds good, right?

New entrepreneurs and existing entrepreneurs that may be interested in locating in a downtown location will need to complete and submit an application for Project Pop-Up (PDF). The application deadline is midnight on September 15th, 2012.

This initiative is supported by funds from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
