Montgomery County is now taking applications for its third round of relief grants for restaurants in the Maryland county that are still facing pandemic-related financial challenges.
This round totals $3.8 million, and will be distributed in $10,000 grants to eligible restaurants that have not previously received county relief grants. Restaurants that already received county relief grants may be eligible for an additional $5,000.
In the first two rounds of grant awards — in December and in February — Montgomery County awarded grants to more than 900 restaurants. When this third round is complete, it will have distributed more than $16.5 million in direct business assistance to county businesses.
