County officials anticipate only one more funding announcement for the Greene County Small Business ARPA Program.
Small businesses had the chance to apply during a three-week period last year. Since October 26, 2023, the commission has awarded a total of $2,661,999.60 in ARPA grants to businesses in this round of funding.
The Commission approved $3,657,893.46 in ARPA grants to Greene County small businesses in 2022.
County officials said they followed federal ARPA guidelines to determine award eligibility. The county set up an online application process, and businesses had to demonstrate the impact of the pandemic and provide supporting documentation. Applications were reviewed by an internal ARPA team.
Greene County received a total of $56.9 million in ARPA funds. All of those funds must be allocated by December 31.
