Bad Little Brewing Company (BLB) in Machias has successfully met the conditions of its $180,000 Community Block Development Grant, according to Maine’s Department of Economic and Community Development. 

The grant’s successful completion means neither the town of Machias nor business owners Sean Lent and Kathryn Toppan are liable for repayment of the grant, funds from which helped to open one of the shiretown’s newest eateries.
