Hundreds of small businesses in select areas of Pueblo are eligible to receive a share of about $300,000 in federal COVID-19-related grants, though the deadline to express interest is Friday.
Some restaurants, shops, and other businesses are eligible for city-dispensed grants ranging from $100 to over $7,000 from the influx of federal American Relief Plan funds.
The city’s finance department needs to know by Friday if businesses want to accept the grant.
The business must be located within a Pueblo “Qualifying Census District,” an area of the city where at least half of the households are low-income. The income threshold is calculated from the county’s regional median income and depends on how many people live in the household.
