Somerset County Cares Act Funding 11:54 pm
As we are over nine months into the coronavirus pandemic, businesses are still dealing with the effects of shutdowns and loss of business. In an effort to help, the Somerset County Commissioners just allocated $1.2 million worth of CARES Act Funding to over 100 different businesses throughout the county. Businesses ranging from restaurants, retail stores, and auto shops.
Somerset County was initially allocated over $6 million worth of federal CARES Act money at the start of the pandemic. This most recent round of small business assistance grants is the last of the amount.
“So, at this time, whenever our businesses are suffering from all of the different reasons from the pandemic, this has really been a shot in the arm for them,” said Somerset County Commissioner, Colleen Dawson.
