Columbus, Franklin County Offering Grants For Businesses Harmed By COVID-19

forbes.com

Franklin County and the City of Columbus are teaming up to help small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Qualifying groups may apply for a share of 3.25 million dollars in recovery grants designed to help maintain operations and jobs at businesses who have seen a 25-percent drop in sales since March 17th.  In Columbus, the applicant must be within a low or moderate-income zone, but outside city limits in the county, owners need to meet personal low income requirements.  Businesses may also only have between five and 24 employees.
