As a full-service beauty and head spa, our business has experienced increased demand for specialized treatments, yet our current layout and equipment limit our ability to serve clients efficiently and safely. This project falls under the eligible use of funds for “INTERIOR BUILDING RENOVATIONS also referred to as “BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS/EQUIPMENT” and focuses on three key improvements that directly support business growth and long-term sustainability: 1. Renovation of Treatment Rooms We will remove two outdated, unused shower units currently occupying valuable square footage in two of our treatment rooms. Eliminating these two large fixtures allows us to reconfigure the space for more functional use. We would propose adding two new sinks with storage cabinets in the two treatments rooms that currently have the showers. The third treatment room which currently does not have an existing shower we would propose to add a new sink and cabinet as well. This renovation increases operational efficiency and supports higher revenue per square foot. 2. Upgrading Treatment Beds to Increase Capacity Daly Lash & Spa will invest in three new, commercial-grade treatment beds designed for ergonomic comfort, durability, and multi-service use. The new commercial-grade treatment beds will allow Daly Lash & Spa to comfortably serve higher-capacity and larger-bodied clients with improved stability and support. Their full adjustability—including height control and multi-position reclining—makes it easier and safer for clients who experience vertigo, dizziness, mobility limitations, or difficulty getting on and off traditional spa beds. These upgrades ensure a more inclusive, accessible experience while improving efficiency and allowing us to serve more clients throughout the day. Page 11 of 48  3. Addition of a Dedicated Head Spa Massage Bed As demand for our signature head spa services continues to rise, we plan to install a specialized all-in-one head spa massage bed. This equipment is essential for delivering advanced scalp therapy, relaxation treatments, and premium wellness services that differentiate our business in the local market. The new bed will elevate service quality, support higher-tier offerings, and attract clients seeking unique, holistic spa experiences. We are also wanting to purchase an LED Pro Multiwave Light System which significantly elevates the effectiveness of the head spa massage bed by adding targeted light-therapy benefits that complement scalp treatments, relaxation services, and water-based therapies. When paired with the massage and hydro-therapy functions of the head spa bed, the LED system enhances treatment outcomes by soothing the scalp, encouraging deeper relaxation, and improving overall service results. 4. Other equipment requests As part of our recent façade renovation, Daly Lash & Spa removed outdated exterior awnings to modernize the building’s appearance and improve street visibility. With the awnings gone, it is now essential to install thermal black blinds on the front windows to control sunlight, protect interior finishes, and maintain a comfortable environment for clients receiving light-sensitive services. Additionally, we are investing in new hand towels and spa bath wraps. We are looking to purchase oxygen activators and devices that are professional-grade treatment solutions designed for repeated use within the spa, not retail items for individual sale. Each activator is used in controlled amounts during services and is part of the equipment-based protocols that enhance hydration, brightness, collagen support, and overall treatment results. TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $27,578.24 AMOUNT OF MATCH ON MAIN FUNDING: $25,000 (max amount) – project will support the 10% contribution match since total estimate exceeds $27,500 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO BE CONSIDERED Eligibility: Page 12 of 48 I operate a physical storefront, with face-to-face customers (including selling products and services).

DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION Daly Lash & Spa is seeking Match on Main funding to complete a series of targeted interior improvements that will expand service capacity, enhance client experience, and strengthen our role as a growing wellness destination in downtown Three Rivers. As a full‑service beauty and head spa, our business has experienced increased demand for specialized treatments, yet our current layout and equipment limit our ability to serve clients efficiently and safely. This project falls under the eligible use of funds for “INTERIOR BUILDING RENOVATIONS also referred to as “BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS/EQUIPMENT” and focuses on three key improvements that directly support business growth and long‑term sustainability: 1.​ Renovation of Treatment Rooms We will remove two outdated, unused shower units currently occupying valuable square footage in two of our treatment rooms. Eliminating these two large fixtures allows us to reconfigure the space for more functional use. We would propose adding two new sinks with storage cabinets in the two treatments rooms that currently have the showers. The third treatment room which currently does not have an existing shower we would propose to add a new sink and cabinet as well. This renovation increases operational efficiency and supports higher revenue per square foot. 2.​ Upgrading Treatment Beds to Increase Capacity Daly Lash & Spa will invest in three new, commercial‑grade treatment beds designed for ergonomic comfort, durability, and multi‑service use. The new commercial‑grade treatment beds will allow Daly Lash & Spa to comfortably serve higher‑capacity and larger‑bodied clients with improved stability and support. Their full adjustability—including height control and multi‑position reclining—makes it easier and safer for clients who experience vertigo, dizziness, mobility limitations, or difficulty getting on and off traditional spa beds. These upgrades ensure a more inclusive, accessible experience while improving efficiency and allowing us to serve more clients throughout the day.

This equipment is essential for delivering advanced scalp therapy, relaxation treatments, and premium wellness services that differentiate our business in the local market.

Specific examples are encouraged. Question 1: Business & Place Impact How will this project improve your business and contribute to the surrounding downtown or commercial district? Describe the expected impact on customers, foot traffic, visibility, services offered, or the overall experience of the area. Customer Experience The renovations create a more comfortable, accessible, and professional environment. Clients benefit from improved room layouts, upgraded equipment, and expanded head spa offerings. The project enhances safety, privacy, and overall service quality, encouraging repeat visits and stronger customer loyalty. Foot Traffic Increased service capacity brings more clients into downtown Three Rivers on a consistent, year‑round basis. Wellness appointments generate predictable daytime activity, supporting nearby businesses and contributing to a more vibrant commercial district. Page 26 of 48 Visibility Recent exterior updates and the installation of thermal blinds improve the building’s appearance and street presence. As services expand and client volume grows, Daly Lash & Spa becomes more visible through word‑of‑mouth, social media, and increased daily activity at the storefront. Services Offered The project enables the spa to offer more specialized treatments, introduce advanced head spa and light‑therapy services, and accommodate clients with mobility or accessibility needs. This expansion increases revenue potential and positions the spa as a regional wellness destination. Overall Downtown Experience A modern, high‑quality spa operating within a historic building enhances the character and appeal of downtown Three Rivers. The project supports the district’s revitalization goals by improving the customer experience, strengthening business diversity, and contributing to a welcoming, active, and economically resilient downtown environment. Page 27 of 48 APPENDIXC– LOCAL BUSINESS APPLICATION WORKSHEET Question 2: Use and Activation of Space How will this project improve the use of interior or exterior space? Describe how the project will activate vacant or underutilized space, improve layout or accessibility, or create a more welcoming and functional environment for customers and the community. Activating Underutilized Space Two of our treatment rooms currently contain outdated, unused shower units that occupy significant square footage without contributing to service delivery. These shower units were originally intended for full body scrub services but there consistently did not seem to be a demand for that. Removing these fixtures will allow us to reclaim and activate this underutilized space, transforming it into fully functional treatment rooms equipped with new sinks and integrated storage cabinetry. The third treatment room will also receive a new sink and cabinet to support improved sanitation and workflow. These changes convert previously inefficient space into productive, revenue‑generating areas that support higher appointment volume and more diverse service offerings. Improving Layout, Flow, and Operational Efficiency Reconfiguring the treatment rooms and adding appropriate cabinetry creates a more efficient layout that supports smoother service flow, better staff movement, and improved cleanliness. The installation of three new commercial‑grade treatment beds further enhances the functionality of the space. These beds offer full adjustability, improved stability, and greater ergonomic support, allowing staff to safely and comfortably serve clients throughout the day. The improved layout reduces bottlenecks, increases daily appointment capacity, and strengthens the overall professionalism of the environment. Enhancing Accessibility and Inclusivity The upgraded treatment beds significantly improve accessibility for clients with mobility limitations, dizziness, vertigo, or difficulty getting on and off traditional spa beds. Their enhanced weight capacity and adjustability ensure that clients of all body types can be served safely and comfortably. These improvements expand the spa’s ability to serve a broader and more diverse Page 28 of 48 customer base, supporting the community’s goals of creating inclusive, welcoming downtown businesses. APPENDIXC– LOCAL BUSINESS APPLICATION WORKSHEET Question 3: Operational Efficiency & Modernization How will this project improve the day-to-day operations or modernize your business? This project will modernize Daly Lash & Spa by improving daily efficiency, expanding treatment capacity, and updating the interior environment to meet current wellness industry standards. More Functional Treatment Rooms Removing two outdated shower units and adding sinks with storage in all three treatment rooms activates previously underutilized space. These updates streamline sanitation, reduce staff movement between rooms, and allow faster turnover between appointments. Improved Efficiency & Accessibility New commercial‑grade, fully adjustable treatment beds enhance comfort, safety, and accessibility for clients of all body types and mobility levels. Their ergonomic design reduces strain on staff and supports more efficient, consistent service delivery throughout the day. Modern Wellness Technology The dedicated head spa massage bed and LED Pro Multiwave Light System introduce advanced, in‑demand wellness services. This equipment consolidates multiple treatment functions, improves outcomes, and expands the spa’s ability to offer higher‑tier services. Enhanced Client Environment Thermal black blinds, updated linens, and professional‑grade treatment tools create a more comfortable, controlled, and contemporary atmosphere. These improvements support a polished, welcoming environment that encourages repeat visits and strengthens the spa’s professional image. Page 29 of 48 APPENDIXC– LOCAL BUSINESS APPLICATION WORKSHEET Question 4: Community Alignment How does this project align with the goals or vision of your downtown or commercial district? Describe how the project supports broader community goals such as revitalization, vibrancy small business sustainability, or filling a gap in the local market. Creating a More Welcoming and Functional Environment Together, these improvements create a modern, calming, and highly functional environment that enhances customer satisfaction and encourages repeat visits. The renovations support a more polished and cohesive interior that complements the building’s historic character while meeting contemporary expectations for wellness and esthetic services. A more inviting and professional spa environment contributes to the overall appeal of downtown Three Rivers as a place to visit, shop, and spend time. Daly Lash & Spa has operated as an anchor storefront since 2018, providing stability and continuity in the downtown corridor. The business has consistently contributed to community vibrancy by actively participating in major events such as Sass in the City, HarmonyFest, Chili Cook‑Off, and other core signature gatherings that draw residents and visitors into the district. These events rely on engaged, established businesses to create energy, foot traffic, and a welcoming atmosphere — a role Daly Lash & Spa has fulfilled for nearly a decade. Filling a Gap in the Local Market Daly Lash & Spa offers specialized esthetic and head spa services that are not widely available in the region. The addition of a dedicated head spa massage bed and LED Pro Multiwave Light System expands access to advanced wellness treatments that meet growing consumer demand. By offering services typically found in larger metropolitan areas, the spa fills a meaningful gap in the local market and attracts clients from surrounding communities, increasing regional draw to the downtown district. Strategic Location Near the New Amphitheater The spa’s close proximity to the newly developed outdoor amphitheater positions it to benefit from — and contribute to — increased visitor activity. As concerts, performances, and community gatherings bring more people downtown, Daly Lash & Spa will gain additional Page 30 of 48 exposure and foot traffic. The modernized interior and expanded service offerings ensure the business is well‑positioned to welcome new visitors and capitalize on the increased energy and activity generated by the amphitheater APPENDIXC– LOCAL BUSINESS APPLICATION WORKSHEET Additional MEDC Program Requirements Match on Main is a reimbursement based grant program administered through local units of government.
