The Urbana Economic Support Grant helps Urbana businesses to purchase necessary protective and sanitizing equipment to facilitate the safe return of customers and employees to their businesses.
The grant will reimburse businesses for safety items and improvements due to the COVID-19 pandemic that were incurred during the eligible time period of March 1, 2020 through December 30, 2020.
Revisions to the grant allow for reimbursement of rent and utility expenses during the same time period as long as those expenses were not already covered by other grants or government funds. Revisions also allow for single owner/employee business to apply.
This grant program is intended to assist Urbana businesses by reimbursing funds to alleviate the extraordinary expenses incurred by employers to purchase equipment that would not have otherwise been necessary to business operations but due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
