One Community Bank is thrilled to announce that Misty River Woodworks, located in Cottage Grove, WI, has been awarded a $15,000 grant. This is a part of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago’s Community First® Accelerate Grant program that assists the growth and development of small businesses in Wisconsin and Illinois.
Misty River Woodworks is a family-owned business that has been crafting woodwork for more than 25 years. They plan to use funds from this grant to invest in some important infrastructure upgrades that will help them take on more of the production process in-house. They enjoy keeping their work under one roof to make sure every piece of furniture and cabinetry meets their high standards for quality and precision. This approach also keeps things local, make the most of their resources, and deliver even better products to their customers.
“Our experience with One Community Bank has been nothing short of refreshing and we couldn’t be more grateful to OCB for believing in what we do,” said David Morrow, Owner at Misty River Woodworks. “From the very first conversation, they took the time to listen to our story and understand where we wanted to go as a company. It’s not often you find a bank that’s genuinely interested in helping a small business like ours reach its full potential. We’re thrilled to have found that partner in One Community Bank.”
Accelerate Grants are an opportunity for members to establish and strengthen partnerships with small businesses and their communities. Misty River Woodworks is all about community and is excited to build a future that includes more local jobs, stronger partnerships, and a thriving economy right in Cottage Grove, WI.
“It’s incredible to be able to assist a business that is both dedicated to its craft and its community,” said Reggie Franklin, Treasury Management Business Development at OCB – Cottage Grove. “David and his son Benjamin create amazing woodwork and are even better people to work with. It’s been a pleasure to help them secure the support they need to continue thriving and I’m excited to see what they build next.”
