Testimonial:

“First and foremost, we would like to THANK The Colony for allowing us to take advantage of the $1000 grant program. We appreciate the City’s continued support in affording its citizens and business owners the opportunity to grow and further invest in our wonderful City. For a long time, I had wanted to invest in commercial real estate and I knew The Colony was the city I wanted to invest in. The Colony has and continues to offer a multitude of opportunities for both my business and family. We have been part of the community and surrounding community dating back to 2006. The location for our business was / is ideal. As a result, I purchased the building in 2013.
