Allen County will award Community Development Block Grants (CDBG-CV) grants to 12 local businesses negatively impacted by COVID-19.
About $45,594 remains available for which eligible businesses may apply, and interested parties should contact Thrive Allen County at 365-8128 or thriveallencounty.org. for more details.
Round 1 grant applications were approved by the Allen County Commissioners on Aug. 18 and Round 2 grant applicants were approved on Aug. 25.
Applications are now open on a rolling basis, until the remaining funds are expended.
