Small Business Grant Funding Expires Soon

Columbia County Economic Team recently sent notices to 44 St. Helens businesses announcing that they were awarded approximately $317,500 combined in COVID-19 relief grants. These grants are part of round four of the Small Business Development Grant program from the State of Oregon to provide COVID-19 funding assistance for small businesses. 

Only half of the grant recipients have responded to the notice. Funding must be returned to the state if acceptance letters are not signed by businesses and sent back to Columbia County Economic Team. Only a few days remain to claim your grant award and return your confirmation documents. 

CCET is encouraging businesses to check their email and junk folders for an award notification and necessary grant paperwork. To return your paperwork or to ask questions about the status of your grant, email grants@columbiacountyoregon.com.
