The Herringbone was the proud recipient of a $25,000 building reuse grant from the NC Department of Commerce. The grant application was required to come from a town or municipality not directly from the business owner. The Town of Edenton was incredibly supportive and quite professional in working with the Herringbone restaurant and the property owner Down and Out East Investments to pull together and submit the lengthy and detailed application. We are so grateful that the Town is so supportive of new businesses and is so willing to help. The final private investment for the project ended up at $2 Million. The restaurant has been open for 9 months and employs 50 people. The project also qualified for both NC State and Federal tax credits. (20% each) The best part of the Herringbone is that it has become such a welcome part of the community. Locals and tourists alike meet and mingle on the waterfront and enjoy the space together. Both the Town Edenton and the Chowan County have been and continue to be big supporters of business and work hard to find solutions to help new business owners get established in this great community. Thank You to the Edenton Chowan Partnership!!
