BUTTE COUNTY DISTRIBUTES SMALL BUSINESS GRANT FUNDS
Butte County, Ca.-- Butte County is pleased to announce that grant funds from the Butte Business Stabilization Program are
beginning to be distributed. This week 51 small business located throughout Butte County will be receiving grant funds
between $15,000 and $25,000. In total, within the next six weeks, approximately 310 businesses will receive grant funds.
“Delivering these grant funds to local businesses is an honor”, said Butte County Board of Supervisor Chair, Steve Lambert.
“The Butte County Board of Supervisors support our local businesses, and we hope that these funds ease some of the pain
they have experienced over these past several months.”
The Butte Business Stabilization Small Business Grant Program is funded through the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds to
support small businesses impacted by COVID-19. These grant funds are necessary to assist Butte County businesses with
costs associated with the impacts of temporary business closures, the costs associated with adherence to local
requirements for safe business re-openings, and the financial impacts due to loss of sales as a result of COVID-19.
3CORE EDC, the program administrator, has been working with businesses since the close of the application period in early
October to determine eligibility and help businesses connect with other business resources available throughout the
County to aid in relief from the impacts of the pandemic. “Working with business owners through this grant process has
been extremely gratifying”, said 3CORE Program Manager, Luis Moreno. “It has been incredible to hear each business
owner’s unique story about how they’re navigating the pandemic. Our team is honored to be part of a program that will
have such a significant impact on local small businesses and in our community.”
