\"FromTheDome\"The Minnesota Legislature on the first day of their special session passed a bill<\/a> to provide $62.5 million in small business grants (not loans) of up to $10,000. Governor Walz is expected to sign.<\/p>\n

Of the total, half will be distributed to Greater Minnesota businesses through the Initiative Foundations. Businesses with 50 or fewer FTE and who can demonstrate financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 will qualify. The bill also provides specific minimum funding amounts that must go to businesses with six or less employees and businesses that are minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned.<\/p>\n

More details and applications will be forthcoming. It is anticipated that since requests will outstrip available funding, grants will be awarded on a lottery system. Stay tuned to the Greater Mankato Growth blog for further updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
