The Norwood Chamber of Commerce announced that it has been awarded a grant as part of the Paradox Community Trust – Strengthening Communities Fund Grant. The Chamber was awarded $15,000 for the Chamber’s Economic Recovery through Technology program.
“The Economic Recovery through Technology program will help local businesses and organizations build an internet presence” explained Ken Lawrence, Chamber board member and Program Manager. “We will help participants acquire web hosting and a domain name if they don’t already have one, and build an interactive website to help improve their business, all at no cost to the organization.
