New grants being offered for small Lane County businesses
Lane County and
Community
Lending
Works (CLW), in part-
nership with the cities of
Coburg, Cottage Grove,
Creswell, Eugene, Flor-
ence, Lowell, Spring-
field, and Veneta, have
been awarded $225,000
from Business Oregon
to be provided as grants
to eligible businesses.
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.
