Local businesses can apply for grant funding

Back in June, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve Resolution No. 62-R-2020, regarding CARES Act funding. The resolution directed that all funds allocated to Mead by the CARES Act, be used as financial relief for local businesses. This resolution was part of a larger Weld County collaborative agreement that involved 33 government entities. CARES Act funding can only be used for COVID-19 related expenses sustained between March 1, 2020 through December 30, 2020. Government entities are not allowed to utilize the CARES Act funding for any other purpose.

We are happy to announce that the Weld County Business Recovery Program is now accepting applications. Grants distributed through the Weld County Business Recovery Program will be provided on a reimbursement basis and range from $10,000 to $25,000. This program is being managed by Upstate Colorado and Round 1 Assistance applications close September 30, 2020. Grant awards will be distributed soon after.
