Adams County, working with the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), has been granted an extension for administering the Small Business Relief Grant Program. Applications will now be accepted until the program closes on Wednesday, March 17. Please visit the application portal for more information.
During the recent Colorado General Assembly Special Session, Senate Bill 20B-001 was passed establishing a Small Business Relief Program, valued at $37 million. As part of Adams County’s ongoing COVID-19 emergency response and recovery strategy, the county will be applying for, administering, and distributing a portion of these funds to the Adams County business community. Adams County will be administering the program on behalf of the entire county and all municipalities within the county.
The county’s Small Business Relief Grant Program offers a one-time award in amounts of $3,500, $5,000, or $7,000 per business applicant based on company annual income.
To be eligible, businesses must meet the following criteria:
- Eligible businesses are restaurants (including hotel/restaurant combinations and food trucks), bars holding a liquor license, breweries, wineries, distilleries, caterers, movie theaters, and fitness and/or recreation centers.
- A small business is defined as having annual income of less than $2.5 million shown in the 2019 calendar year if operating then or shown in 2020, if business opened between Jan. 1, 2020, and March 26, 2020.
- Must show a 20% annual decrease in revenues due to COVID-19 restrictions if operating before Jan. 1, 2020 (not required if opened between Jan. 1, 2020, and March 26, 2020). Must demonstrate impact from in-person capacity limits.
