Goodhue County officials will utilize CARES Act grants to assist small businesses, agricultural businesses, non-profits, churches, medical facilities and retirement homes amid the COVID-19 crisis.
"This part of Goodhue County’s CARES Act Program is budgeted for $2.46 million," its website stated. "Grants will be awarded in amounts up to $10,000 on a first-come, first-serve basis until the funds are depleted on noon on Oct. 31."
The guidelines and application can be found at Community and Economic Development Associates by clicking here.
The grants will give emergency assistance to local small businesses in Goodhue County that have been severely influenced by the coronavirus financial crisis. Businesses and non-profits can receive up to $10,000 in funding.
Funds will help small businesses and nonprofits pay rent, mortgage, utility bills, supply costs and reopening costs.
"We understand there is a cost to reopening your organization safely," Goodhue County officials said. "These grant funds can also be used to ensure your organization can afford to operate while maintaining the social distancing guidelines for the safety of your employees and customers."
