Albemarle County today announced the recipients of the Safe Spaces & Places Grant, a relief initiative for businesses that have temporarily expanded outdoors to serve customers due to COVID-19 public health restrictions.
Recipients may use funds for applicable expansion expenses, including items like tents, outdoor heating, and point of sale systems.
“We were able to use federal CARES Act funding to support our business community during the pandemic,” said Economic Development Director Roger Johnson. “And, for that, I am grateful. The innovation and commitment to safer operations from these local businesses has been tremendous.”
All grants for the Safe Spaces & Places program utilize funding received by Albemarle County through the CARES Coronavirus Relief Fund. The total budget for the program is $878,200.
Proposed physical changes were evaluated for compliance with applicable health, building, zoning, and fire regulations. The temporary outdoor expansions will be permitted for the duration of the Emergency Ordinance passed by the Board of Supervisors.
