WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

TRA has been a supporter of Main Street Pontiac's small business support since our inception back in 2017. TRA had a pivotal role in Pontiac's BIG IDEA Grant Program in providing coaching services to grant applicants such that they could provide more robust grant applications and business plans. In reviewing grant applications, those that sought and received support from TRA were usually easily identifiable as some of the more high-quality applications.
