ROUND ONE UPDATE
11 Businesses Assisted and 22 Jobs Created or Retained!
Round One of the Business Assistance Program is officially closed—and what a response! We received 54 applications (48 in the first 15 minutes!) and awarded 11 forgivable loans, helping create or retain 22 local jobs.
As we prepare for Round Two this fall, we’re hosting a public workshop on May 19, 2026 at 5:30 PM at the Wastewater Treatment Plant Conference Room (210 Battery Street). If you are unable to attend in person, please use the zoom link provided on the calendar below.
Join us to:
• Share feedback on the application process
• Learn about other funding opportunities
• Get connected to technical assistance for future success
• Hear updates about Round Two (including potential lottery selection)
If you applied in Round One and weren’t funded, you’ll automatically be considered for Round Two. If you are a new applicant, you can apply once we begin accepting applications for Round Two in the fall.
To book a one-on-one meeting with our Program Operator on May 20, 2026, please call Bridget Lacey at 707-458-4814.
