have 15 days to spend the funds and any remainder would go back to the State.
Mr. Dickinson stated the program funding target is $1.8 million, targeting local businesses and
non -profits. Round 1 took place in August with 29 applications received. $972,834 was
distributed to qualifying businesses. Round 2 kicked off September 11t. Staff received 27
applications requesting $925,850. Staff reviewed the applications and is requesting approval of
