Huntley is looking for applicants for its new Shops on Main retail incubator program.

Huntley is the third McHenry County municipality to try the concept of giving retailers starting out a place to establish themselves. McHenry’s Riverwalk Shoppes downtown are in their third season. Woodstock has halted its program in the Old Courthouse, though officials haven’t completely shut the door on the program.

In Huntley, officials are closing applications July 13 for the incubator’s nine retail spaces, and plan to offer a business plan workshop before then to help potential participants refine their applications, according to a village news release.
