May 21, 2021 - 2:10 PM
The Nova Scotia government is investing $17.2 million more in the Small Business Impact Grant Part 3 program to support small businesses affected by the ongoing provincial COVID-19 restrictions.
The province will top up payments made to all small businesses that qualify under the program by $5,000.
“Through our ongoing consultations with the business community, we recognized the challenges many owners are facing as these necessary additional public health protocols remain in place,” said Inclusive Economic Growth Minister Labi Kousoulis. “Our businesses have been resilient, and our government will continue to be there to support them. By working together, we will slow the spread of COVID-19 so that we are best positioned for recovery.”
