Albemarle County today announced the recipients of the Lift Grant, a relief initiative to provide grant funds to local businesses to assist with impacts due to COVID-19.
More than 75 businesses applied for funds through the Community Investment Collaborative. Applications were considered based on qualitative and quantitative data using a scoring matrix with a focus on women, minority, and veteran-owned businesses and the hospitality and tourism, retail, arts, and entertainment industries.
Applicants were required to provide proof of COVID-related impacts.
The total budget for this project was $1.25 million and will utilize funding received by Albemarle County through the CARES Coronavirus Relief Fund.
