Within the last four months, Humboldt County's Small Business Restart and Recovery (SBRR) grant program has allocated $1.8 million in grant funding for local businesses that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the release, county staff is working to finalize another $2 million in additional funding for more local businesses and non-profits.
The grant funding was designed to help with COVID-19 related expenses like preparing re-opening plans, purchasing personal protective equipment, rent payments, certain payroll expenses, building improvements, cleaning supplies among others.
The Humboldt County Administrative Office of Economic Development collected and reviewed the large volume of applications received by businesses and non-profits.
