The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce says an additional contribution from Google allowed every business that applied to its small business relief fund to receive monies.  53 businesses applied for the original $35,000 made available by the Google Data Center in The Dalles, and the company contributed an additional $16,000 to get grants to all the businesses in the 9-7-0-5-8 zip code that applied.  The Chamber then chose to cover the remaining businesses from outside the zip code that applied.  The relief grant was open to all small businesses in The Dalles area.  Businesses had to be “brick and mortar” businesses, with a current business license.  Applicants had to demonstrate a negative financial impact due to COVID-19, and could only employ 10 or fewer employees.  The grants were a collaborative effort between The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce, Mid-Columbia Economic Development District, and Google.  Funds will be distributed from the Chamber this week.
