Economic Recovery Grant Deadline

Jefferson County is announcing the opening of the Small Business Economic Recovery Assistance Grant Program. This program is funded through the Community Development Block Grant CARES (CDBG-CV) Program and all CDBG regulations apply to this program. Funding through this program must be utilized for Low/Moderate Income (LMI) job creation and or retention. Amount of Assistance: At this time, the maximum grant amount is $5,000 and we anticipate providing assistance to approximately 27 small businesses. Assistance will be on a "first come, first served" basis with businesses that have not received any economic recovery assistance as a result of the coronavirus pandemic being prioritized.
