Pulaski County businesses can now apply for up to $10,000 of COVID-19 relief.
The county’s gotten almost $244,000 to give to small businesses impacted by the pandemic, as part of the third round of the state’s COVID-19 Response Program. To qualify, a business must have 100 or fewer employees and have at least been established before July of 2020, according to the Pulaski County Community Development Commission. Priority may be given to businesses that had to shut down because they were considered non-essential and those that have 20 or fewer employees.
Businesses that got funding in the fall round may apply again, but they may not get as much money or none at all, depending on the number of applications. Since the Town of Winamac also got COVID-19 Response funding, the CDC says businesses there may apply for both the town’s and the county’s programs, but total funding still can’t exceed $10,000.
Applications are due by Tuesday, May 25 at 4:00 p.m. EDT. More details can be found on the Pulaski County Community Development Commission website.
The county commissioners Monday officially selected the Kankakee-Iroquois Regional Planning Commission as the grant administrator for $6,250. That cost will come out of the grant funding.
