The Sherburne County Commissioners have approved a program to make grant money available for businesses that suffered losses from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sherburne County businesses can begin applying for those funds today. The application window will be open until August 31. Eligible businesses may receive a one-time grant up to $20,000.

The funds are designed to assist a business that can show a decrease in actual revenue or anticipated revenue of at least 20 percent.

Applicants who are approved to receive grant money will be required to conduct a 30-minute visit with an industry expert with the County’s Entrepreneur Lab program before receiving the money.
