At The Granary, we believe in the strength of community. For us, our focus isn’t just the land we develop: it’s the people and the small businesses that give Milton its unique, vibrant soul.
We are proud to announce our partnership with Milton Main Street to fund the 2026 Small Business Grant Program. Through a $10,000 contribution from The Granary, seven local businesses have been awarded grants to enhance their operations, beautify their storefronts, and expand their reach.
A Partnership for Progress
This initiative isn’t just about funding; it’s about sustainable land development that respects the existing fabric of the town. By supporting the economic and social vitality of downtown Milton, we are ensuring that the growth of The Granary moves in harmony with the local economy.
“Community involvement, support, and investment are the cornerstone of thriving communities,” says Mariah Underhill, Milton Main Street Board Member and Vice President of Development for the Granary. “Supporting the Milton Main Street Board and these incredible local businesses is the exact kind of partnership that strengthens the fabric of Milton.”
