Utah County has launched a $15 million small-business grant program to assist businesses with 100 or fewer full-time employees that have been negatively impacted by COVID-19.
The $15 million Utah County CARES Small Business Grant Program is offered pursuant to funding received by Utah County through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and will provide grants from $1,000 up to $20,000, dependent on the number of employees. The applicant business must demonstrate a significant impact as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to be considered for funding.
The application process has opened and will continue through Aug. 10. Applicants can contact grants@mountainland.org or 801-229-3678 with questions. Due to the anticipated number of submissions and limited funding, applications will be ranked based on predetermined priorities.
