\"deedThe Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has announced that the Minnesota Small Business Relief Grants Program<\/a> \u2013 which was approved by the Minnesota Legislature last week and signed by Governor Tim Walz on Tuesday \u2013 will begin accepting applications next week.<\/p>\n

This program will provide $10,000 grants to small businesses that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses with 50 or fewer full-time employees are eligible. Half of the funding will go to businesses in Greater Minnesota and half to businesses in the seven-county Twin Cities metro area. In addition, a portion of grant funds are set aside for businesses with six or fewer full-time employees and for minority, veteran, and women-owned businesses.<\/p>\n

The application period will begin on Tuesday, June 23 and close at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 2.<\/strong> A randomized, computer-generated lottery process will be used to select eligible businesses that will receive awards. Grant funds can be used for working capital to support payroll expenses, rent, mortgage payments, utility bills, and other similar business expenses.<\/p>\n

To be eligible, businesses must have a permanent physical location in Minnesota and be majority owned by a permanent resident of Minnesota. Businesses must be able to demonstrate hardship as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Additional eligibility requirements and application information can be found online at DEED\u2019s Small Business Relief Grants page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
