County commissioners to evaluate applications later this month. Money must be distributed by March 15. 5:30 am, Feb. 13, 2021 ×
WORTHINGTON A COVID-19 Relief grant program launched by Nobles County to help businesses and the not-for-profit sector hit hard by the pandemic has generated more than 150 applications.
The Minnesota Legislature awarded $433,000 to Nobles County for the program with the request that counties focus the dollars on those who truly need it. Approximately $10,000 was spent on marketing the program.
“They told us not to take the applications and divide the money (equally),” said Nobles County Administrator Tom Johnson.
That’s why the application used this time asked business owners to tell their story, he explained.
