President & CEO's Message
Mark your calendars for next Tuesday, May 10th! The Bay County Small Business Grant Program will be going live at 12:00 pm.
We're excited to share this opportunity with Bay County Small Businesses and thank the Bay County Board of Commissioners and the Bay County Executive's Office and Bay County Administration for allocating the funds necessary to make this program a reality.
Eligible businesses include, for-profit entities with 2-50 total employees (including full time, part time, and owner-employees) with a brick and mortar location in Bay County, Michigan.
This grant program leverages funding through Bay County's ARPA dollars to help reduce the economic impact of the ongoing pandemic on Bay County small businesses and workers, with a minimum 30% required to be awarded to eligible women-owned, minority-owned or veteran-owned businesses.
The $1,000,000 grant program to support small businesses and industries disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 Gatherings and Mask Order will specifically fund:
- $900,000 to small businesses including food service establishments, retail, and recreational facilities, among others
- $100,000 to entertainment and hospitality venues
Additional eligibility, documentation requirements, and application will be forthcoming and available at https://www.bayfuture.com/main/grants/.
Happy reading,
-Trevor Keyes, EDFP
