“Arizona businesses have innovated and adjusted for months to operate safely while prioritizing public health,” said Governor Ducey. “Today’s grant funding will bring additional support to small businesses impacted by the pandemic, keep our economy moving forward, and help protect public health and safety. I’m grateful to all chambers of commerce and businesses across the state that support our workforce and protect Arizonans.”
Gov. Ducey launched the Chamber of Commerce COVID-19 Response Grant Program last November. The program is funded through the state’s Crisis Contingency and Safety Net Fund, which was established in March through a bipartisan state budget agreement that allocated an additional $50 million for Arizona’s COVID-19 response.
