Financial help on the way for businesses in city of Watertown hurt by pandemic

WATERTOWN — Local small businesses still digging out from financial problems caused by the pandemic soon will get help, thanks to federal funding from the federal CARES Act.
The City Council has set aside between $400,000 and $450,000 in grants from CARES Act money that will go toward helping financially struggling small businesses get through the pandemic.
Back in January, council members directed the Planning Department to put together the program after hearing businesses in the city were in need of help, rather than spending the brunt of the $720,000 in CARES Act funding on other programs.
City planners have talked to officials in Rochester, Auburn and Dunkirk, near Buffalo, to see how they implemented programs for small businesses with CARES Act funding.
