Mid-Columbia Economic Development District is administering business assistance grants for both Wasco and Hood River counties with applications due by this coming Sunday. MCEDD’s Carrie Pipinich says both counties have about $700,000 apiece to distribute in funds that came from the state through federal CARES Act provisions. She says the money has to be distributed by the end of 2020. Each county has some differing eligibility requirements. For application information go to mcedd.org/bizgrants.
