More Business Relief is On the Way
SB20B-001 was passed during an extraordinary session of the state legislature, held from November 30-Dec 1. This bill allocates $37M to provide relief to businesses affected by the most recent state health orders. Greeley will receive our pro-rata portion from this fund and we plan to partner with the Greeley Area Recovery Fund as we did early on during the pandemic to distribute those grants, beginning in January.
