The COVID-19 Relief Statewide Small Business Assistance Program will open its second application window at 9 a.m. on Monday.

This will be the final opportunity to apply for the program. The application window will remain open for 15 business days, closing at 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 28.

Pennsylvania small businesses are encouraged to apply for relief if they:

• Had 25 or fewer full-time employees prior to Feb. 15, 2020

• Have annual revenues of $1 million or less, and

• Were economically impacted by COVID-19

All applications must be made through a Community Development Financial Institution in the county where their business is located. Metro Action and Rising Tide are the companies that cover Carbon County.

If you already applied during the first application window, you will be notified of your status by Aug. 10. You do not need to reapply in the second round. Qualified applications will be automatically rolled over into this next funding round for consideration.
