Fairfax County support for small and medium sized businesses!
Dear Industry Partners:
We are very excited to let you all know that Fairfax County has recently announced their significant support for small and medium businesses with a specific focus on our industry including hotels, restaurants, and retail, along with several other categories such as arts organizations and venues. This money will come from the American Rescue Plan Act, recently approved by the federal government. We are extremely grateful to the County Board and County Staff for recognizing this need.
The county has approved $25 million in small grants for COVID-19 impacted businesses to support their recovery. The pandemic has affected everyone, but none as much as our industry and those that rely heavily on consumer interaction. These grants are designed to strategically support the hardest hit sectors and help them PIVOT from survival to growth and future success.
The grants are available in the following categories:
- Food Service (including Food Trucks)
- Retail, Services and Amusements
- Arts Organizations, Museums and Historical Sites
- Lodging
Click the link to each category to learn more about each program and the allocated grant amounts, how to apply, and other important details. Find examples of Eligible Businesses here and Read the PIVOT press release here.
If you have additional questions about these grants, you can visit https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/economic-initiatives/pivot or register for upcoming webinars on June 15 and/or June 17.
Yours in hospitality,
Your Friends at Visit Fairfax
