Klickitat PUD has established a COVID-19 Small Business Customer Assistance Program.  The PUD says the program extends discounts to impacted small businesses depending on business type to encourage appropriate reopening of businesses that are struggling to keep the lights on due to the crisis, or have had to close their doors due to state mandates.  Eligible small businesses will receive a discount on their electric bill for three consecutive months upon reopening or being approved.  Small business eligibility criteria include being in business within Klickitat County as of January 1, having between one and ten employees, and having been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.   Agricultural producers do not qualify for the program.  To apply visit Klickitat County Economic Development’s website.
