Small Business Recovery Assistance Fund

The County of Mecklenburg plans to apply for Community Development Block Grant funds up to $550,000 from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development for the Mecklenburg County Small Business Recovery Assistance Fund (SBRAF).

Through the Mecklenburg County SBRAF, the County will help businesses meet their long-term business goals by adjusting to COVID-19 demands.  Establishing safe and clean re-opening procedures, in accordance with the Governor’s guidance, is necessary for the safety of customers and employees. It will allow businesses to regain and sustain operations, ideally helping them retain existing staff, fill vacant positions, create new jobs, and become more efficient and resilient.
