Collector’s Pair of Dice
“Working with the Chamber of Commerce and Project OPEN has been a huge blessing for my business. Everyone involved was so friendly and excited to be a part of our journey in becoming part of our community. We were able to use the funding to help secure our storefront location as well as our initial stock of products and furniture. We are grateful to be here, and we are excited to see what comes next.” - Rowan Deckert, owner of Collector’s Pair of Dice

“Jaclyn was incredible in helping me with Project Open! She truly advocated for me to secure funding for my business. I hope to collaborate with her again in the future. The funds from Project Open kickstarted my barbershop, and I’m excited to work with the Salina Chamber of Commerce once more!” – Landon Klassen, owner of Black Sheep Studio

“I was very pleased with the gap loan process. The staff made it very easy and were able to answer all my questions. It was made easier because the local banks were aware of the program also. I had asked for the loan to secure most of the inventory we purchased to get started. If this program were not available, I would not have been able to open my business. Thank You Project OPEN!!” – Eric Boyle, owner of Let It Sew
