LAS VEGAS, NV (KXNT) - Henderson small businesses that have been financially impacted by closures or restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic may apply for a grant to assist with their recovery efforts through the City of Henderson.
Businesses operating in Henderson with a current City of Henderson business license and that have 20 or fewer full-time equivalent employees may apply for a Small Business Recovery Grant at HendersonNow.com/COVID19. The application deadline is August 24 at 5 p.m.
Grant awards are available in amounts ranging from $2,500-$10,000 based on the number of full-time equivalent employees. Eligible uses for the grant funds include rent, utility payments, inventory, payroll and license fees.
“We are deeply aware of the many challenges that small businesses currently face after months of closures and restrictions due to the COVID-19 public health emergency,” said Mayor Debra March. “It is vital for the city to help local small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy, through these difficult times and ensure they are able to recover and continue to operate and provide jobs for our residents.”
Priority will be given to businesses that have not received any federal assistance; however, businesses that have received federal aid through such programs as the Payroll Protection Program may still apply.
