PARKERSBURG Some federal funds allocated by the cities of Parkersburg and Vienna to help businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic have been awarded, but balances remain for each program.
Parkersburg Development Director Rickie Yeager told members of Parkersburg City Council this week that the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council, which is administering the city’s Small Business Relief Fund, has processed 20 applications and funds are being awarded to 13 applicants, with another pending.
That amounts to $82,688.60 in financial assistance from additional Community Development Block Grant funds provided through the C.A.R.E.S. Act passed earlier this year by Congress.
