Over 500 Applications Filed for NorCo Small Business Grants

According to Jessica O'Donnell at the Greater LehighValley Chamber of Commerce, over 500 small businesses have applied for grants from NorCo's  small business relief grant program. The maximum allowed is $15,000. The county set aside $4 million for this initiative. "We may need some more money," noted Executive Lamont McClure.

  1. $4m and 500 applicants would be $8k average per applicant, and a maximum is $15k. Sounds not real far out of whack - but probably a bit short.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
