The Carbondale Board of Trustees voted last week to give the organization Coventure a $20,000 grant. Coventure's founders say they'll use the money to expand programs to help local startup businesses. A Coventure board member recently purchased the Spruce Building in downtown Carbondale and will use it for classes and a co-working space. When the grant application first came before the trustees in November, there were concerns about the amount, especially relative to the town's support of other non-profits. KDNK's Mark Duggan invited Trustee Ben Bohmfalk to talk more about the decision. Duggan started by asking Bohmfalk whether $20,000 is high or low, based on past grants to other organizations.
