MONMOUTH The city of Monmouth will disperse $188,000 in state grant funds to small businesses for costs incurred to enhance public health and safety amid the coronavirus pandemic.
City Administrator Lew Steinbrecher said financial assistance of up to $10,000 per grant will be available to small businesses through the Local CURE Economic Support Payments Grant Program.
The grant will reimburse businesses for costs associated with improvement of ventilation systems and with outdoor dining service.
Those small businesses that did not receive forgivable loans from the federal Paycheck Protection Program may also be eligible to use the grants for some operating expenses, Steinbrecher said.
