Please note: There is a potential that additional CDBG CARES Act assistance may be available in early Spring 2021. Indications are that assistance will be in the form of $10,000 forgivable loan. It is also anticipated that veteran, disabled, minority and woman business owner’s will be given first preference. If this future assistance program comes to a fruition, then any business awarded a forgivable loan in this round of assistance will not be able to receive a forgivable loan under the 2021 Spring program.
