CARES Act Distribution
Olmsted received CARES Act funding. CARES Act is a Federal Program that provided Economic Relief because of the COVID pandemic. I voted to set aside Five Million Dollars of the funds to provide assistance to Olmsted County Small Businesses and Non-Profits who lost income from March 1 to present due to the COVID pandemic. Here is the list of the small businesses and Non-profits that received CARES Act funds from the County. Small businesses are vital to the Olmsted County economy. Non-Profits provide many services to mutual clients of the County; their economic health is important to insure those service can still be delivered. I know that businesses and non-profits lost more income than what the grant provides and that not all small business and non-profits received money. I supported the county’s efforts to help as many small businesses and non-profits as possible with the limited fund we received from the Federal Government.
For the businesses receiving funds:
- 79 (26% of applicants) will receive the full amount of $25,000
- 138 (45% of applicants) employed six or fewer FTEs
- 87 are majority owned by women
- 40 are majority owned by racial or ethnic minorities
- 10 are majority owned by veterans
