Electric City CARES about small businesses

 

Last updated 9/9/2020 at 8:14am



Small businesses that operate in Electric City will be receiving some financial relief from the economically distressed times caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Electric City council voted at their Sept. 8 meeting to approve distributing $24,000 in federal relief money to local businesses through a grant application process they held during the summer. 

The money comes from a grant program set up using some of the city’s $30,900 the city is qualified for in total in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds. 

The 12 businesses approved to received awards are: American Legion Post, Care & Share Food Bank, Changes Salon, Fusion Cafe & Espresso, the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce, the Grand Coulee Dam Area Seniors, H&H Grocery, JP Construction, KD Painting, Ridge Riders Inc, Sharon’s Pet Boutique, and the Skydeck Motel. 

The specific award amounts for each business were not released at the meeting. 


The council briefly discussed and clarified that businesses that operate within Electric City qualified for the funds, even though their business license may not necessarily be out of Electric City.
