A $2,500 grant from St. Mary's Bank aims to aid a New Hampshire incubator help small businesses with growth strategies.

The Amoskeag Business Incubator said it plans to use the grant from the $709 million CU to hire an AmeriCorps VISTA member, a volunteer who commits to serve full-time for a year at a nonprofit organization or local government agency and supports the community in various ways. At ABI, the VISTA member will be responsible for expanding services and resources available to the incubator's businesses.
