Press release from Asheville Chamber of Commerce:
With Phase 2 has been extended through mid Sept, many are thinking, “What now?” There’s still help available for businesses.
Join us for a virtual town hall on Tuesday, August 11th to learn about the state’s new Job Retention Grant and get updates on other funding sources available to support businesses during the COVID-19 disruption. And we could use your help in forwarding to other local businesses who could use the info. We’ve heard many aren’t aware of options available and want everyone to have the opportunity to learn what might be available to them.
Dan Gerlach, consultant for the NC Dept. of Commerce, will discuss the requirements and application process for the Job Retention Grant. In this Zoom webinar, you’ll find out if you’re eligible, learn how to apply and have an opportunity to submit questions.
