Warren County to offer $1.1M to small businesses, others struggling in pandemic

The Warren County Commission is offering nearly $1.1 million for small business assistance, non-profits and child-care businesses.

On Monday, the county unveiled the program designed to loan $350,000 each in small grants to small businesses, non-profit and child care businesses.

The money is to come from $2.4 million in funds to the county from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Of these dollars, the BOCC plans to use $1,095,000 to fund this new grant program with the three areas of focus. The Warren County Small Business Development Alliance will administer the program.
