The cities of Lowell, Cottage Grove, Cre- swell, Florence, and Ve- neta have contributed approximately $60,000 in additional funds, making almost $285,000 available. Earlier funding pro- vided by Lane County and the partner cities was used to demonstrate matching funds in order to increase the overall amount of Business Or- egon’s award. “Businesses in Lane County continue to struggle against the ef- fects of COVID-19, in- cluding a sharp decline in customers and re- stricted operations,” said Lane County’s Commu- nity & Economic Devel- opment Manager Austin Ramirez. “These grants are intended to help bridge part of that gap for small businesses.” Eligible businesses include those with 25 or fewer employees (in- cluding sole proprietors and business owners with Individual Taxpay- er Identification Num- bers), and only those that have been unable to receive federal CARES Act funding, including the Small Business Ad- ministration’s Paycheck Protection Program, Economic Injury Di- saster Loan Emergency Advance program, or other federal programs for emergency pandem- ic funding to date. These grants will range from $2,500 to $25,000 to support busi- nesses directly impacted by the COVID-19 pan- demic. The amount awarded will be based on a formu- la from the State that ac- counts for employment size and COVID-19- re- lated impacts. Business- es must use the proceeds for business-related op- erating expenses. To be considered for funding, eligible businesses must go to https://communitylend- ingworks.org/emergen- cy -grants/ and submit the registration form. Eligible businesses that pre-registered will be entered into a ran- dom lottery and selected until funding runs out. Community Lending Works will then work with the selected busi- nesses to complete the full application.
