Pinal County extends grants to struggling businesses
by Mark Cowling | Apache Junction Central
Pinal County’s Business Sustainability Program, which has provided almost $1.2 million in grants to help more than 100 businesses stay afloat, will take applications again next month.
The Board of Supervisors approved a third round of applications Wednesday-‘ and lowered the qualifying level of revenue loss from 25% to 10%.
“I think a 10% loss equates to employees. My issue is I want to try and keep as many people employed as possible,” Supervisor Todd House, R-Apache Junction, said. The board also increased the program budget from $1.5 million to $2 million, which means there will be $750,903 available in round three.
