On Dec. 15, at a work session held by the Archuleta County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC), the BoCC heard from Region 9 Economic Development Executive Director Laura Lewis Marchino in regard to a new Small Business Relief (SBR) program being introduced by the state.
The state has made $35.15 million available to local businesses, with 10 percent of the program funds reserved for high-need counties with a population less than 100,000. The funds will only be awarded to counties that are in Level Red: Severe Risk of the state’s COVID-19 dial.
Small businesses in the state and all around the country have been struggling with capacity limitations and closures since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic back in March.
