GALESBURG Thirty-five Galesburg businesses are recipients of between $5,000 and $25,000 as part of the Galesburg COVID-19 Relief Program.
The fund is comprised of $250,000 in funding from the State of Illinois and $250,000 in funding from the City of Galesburg. After a review of the applications received, 35 Galesburg businesses will receive between $5,000 and $25,000 in grant funding to help cover losses incurred due to COVID-19. The stated priority for the program was to aid small businesses in the restaurant, retail, bar, spa, and salon industries that could demonstrate losses caused by the pandemic.
“COVID-19 has been extremely hard on small businesses all across our community, Galesburg Mayor John Prichard said in a news release. The City of Galesburg is excited to be able to step up and provide assistance for many small businesses that underpin our community’s economy and quality of life,”
