Business Grant Funds Remain

Mid-Columbia Economic Development District is encouraging small businesses to apply for COVID-19 Emergency Business Assistance Grants in Hood River, Sherman and Wasco Counties, as a large chunk of $250,000 in funds from Business Oregon have gone unclaimed.  MCEDD’s Marla Harvey says the money is intended to fill in the gaps for businesses that have not been able to receive federal funds.  The main requirement is that the business was negatively impacted by COVID-19, including businesses that were officially told by the state they could not operate or had a 50 percent decline in revenue during March and April.  Harvey adds that MCEDD is asking businesses to apply by August 14.  If the money goes unclaimed, it gets returned to the state.  For application information go to mcedd.org.
