Local businesses awarded recovery grants
Grants have been awarded to more than 80 local businesses, to help them adapt their operations or develop new services in the COVID-19 era.
A total of 85 small businesses will share in $411,463 worth of funding through the COVID-19 Business Recovery Grants program.
The grants were included in the Council’s sixth COVID-19 Community and Economic Support Package, which was endorsed in September.
Mayor Stephanie Asher said targeted assistance for local businesses was a central plank of the Council’s support packages, which have a total value of $16.9 million.
“While trading conditions have improved during this busy Christmas period, businesses still face a long road to recovery,” Mayor Asher said.
