Michigan Works West Central issued the following announcement on July 8.
New relief available to small businesses, food processors and farmers.
The Michigan Strategic Fund has approved a $100 million program that will provide grants to small businesses around Michigan working to recover from the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 virus.
"The COVID-19 virus has especially impacted Michigan's food and agriculture sector. This investment will provide critical resources to ensure the safety of Michigan's food production industry and its workforce," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "We can further our economic recovery in Michigan by putting federal dollars through the CARES Act to work for the people and business across our state through efforts like these grants to farms and food processors."
The State of Michigan has appropriated $100 million of federal CARES Act funding through SB 690, signed into law by Governor Whitmer last week, to implement the Michigan Small Business Restart Program to support Michigan’s small businesses that are reopening and have experienced a loss of income as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
