Economic Alliance Snohomish County will oversee a new grant program to help support small local businesses.
The emergency grants are available to county businesses that employ up to 20 people.
Grants will be awarded in two amounts — $5,000 for firms with 10 or fewer employees, and $10,000 for companies with 11 to 20 employees.
Funding comes from the Working Washington Small Business Emergency Grant program, including federal Coronavirus Assistance, Recovery and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds.
A pool of $580,000 is available for for-profit businesses in Snohomish County.
Economic Alliance is accepting applications now through Monday.
