Reminder: Deadline is 1/15/21 for Commonwealth’s new funding program for businesses

Governor Baker recently announced new funding for the Commonwealth's business grant program, meaning some applicants not previously funded will receive grants; as well as an additional new program focusing on certain sectors hardest hit by the pandemic (such as restaurants and fitness centers). Please note a new application deadline of January 15, 2021. Complete information about the new grant funds is posted on www.empoweringsmallbusiness.org. Please note that the eligibility criteria for this program is different from previous programs, and many owners not previously prioritized are now eligible. Funds do not need to be paid back. Businesses who received aid previously may still be eligible if funds are used for different expenses.
