This is deceiving and far from the entire story.
A year or so ago the state appropriated a 3 million dollar relief package to affected Mille Lacs area businesses negatively impacted by the walleye fishing closure. The aid included grants up to $5,000 and/or interest free loans up to $100,000 over 5 years.
Many of the area resorts and businesses have accepted these and in some cases both with opportunity to apply for additional if all other qualifying applicants were met. I believe they have and most the funds are now spoken for with the deadline being June 30th.
Walleyestudent – You did not do your homework. That article was not related to the relief package. Hunter Winfield’s will indeed receive 150,000. Not as a loan or grant, rather a one time payment for damages incurred by the Mn DNR’s negligent mismanagement of the lake.
