COVID-19 RELIEF BUSINESS GRANTS AVAILABLE
October 29, 2021. Polk County has partnered with Willamette Workforce Partnership to distribute a second round of COVID-19 business relief grants to provide vital economic support to Polk County businesses needing assistance in overcoming the temporary loss of revenue due to COVID-19. If a business received a grant in the first round it will not be eligible. Funding for the grant is provided by the Federal Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES).
Polk County businesses negatively affected by COVID-19 may be eligible to receive grant funds for business operating expenses such as rent/lease payments, mortgage payments, utility expenses, inventory, or other similar expenses that occur in the ordinary course of operations.
The grant application is opened today, October 27, 2021 and will close November 17, 2021 at 11:59 p.m.
One-on-One assistance, by appointment only, will be available by emailing Dean Craig, Business Services Director dcraig@willwp.org or Suzie Gibson, Business Engagement Manager, sgibson@willwp.org or by calling the Willamette Workforce Partnership office at 503-581-1002.
