More than half of the $500,000 set aside by the Town of Queen Creek for a small-business grant program to offset the costs of safety measures due to COVID-19 concerns is still available.
“To date, we have received 52 applications. The total amount requested is just over $210,000, with the average amount just over $4,000, so we still have quite a bit of money remaining from that initial $500,000 that the council directed us to move forward with,” Economic Development Director Doreen Cott said at the Aug. 26 meeting of the town’s Economic Development Commission.
Town officials are using social media to get the word out on the program.
