Dane County Executive Joe Parisi has proposed $4 million in additional grant funding for the Small Business Pandemic Support Grant program. The program awards businesses up to $50,000 for expenses including payroll, rent, and other related costs, according to a story from the Wisconsin State Journal.
The program, to be administered by Dane Buy Local, would distribute the funds to businesses hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Priority would be given to businesses such as retailers, restaurants, fitness studios, and service providers. The funding must be approved by the full county board.
