Updated: NorCo Council Votes 9-0 for $4 M in Grants to 396 Small Businesses
NorCo Council voted 9-9 last night to provide $4 million in grants to 396 small businesses negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Most were for $15,000. These were awarded on a first come, first served basis. As a result, some worthy businesses who applied late were left out. Executive Lamont McClure is hopeful that he might be able to open up a second round of funding with the $27.6 million in CARES money provided to the county.

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.
Great job Chamber of Commerce, bet President Heckman will drag this meeting on for hours
ReplyDeleteI see some multi million dollar companies on the list and same have already been given the PPP monies ($150k+ https://projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/bailouts) so I believe that those companies get on the bottom of the list and those that have not yet been awarded anything, get their fair share!
ReplyDeleteAnon 240pm, since you obviously did research on this, how about making it easier for the rest of us and telling us who?
ReplyDeleteI'm almost afraid to ask this because I serve alcoholic beverages but never had a kitchen to prepare food for over 60 years; so how did these companies apply for assistance? A mystery to us! Guess we didn't get the memo.
ReplyDeleteIt's no mystery. I wrote about this repeatedly and provided links to the applications several times. The Chamber also actively marketed this grant, even to the point of going door-to-door in the slate belt, If you missed out, do not lose hope bc I think there will be a second round.
