Business Recovery COVID Relief Fund

Madison County has been awarded a $1,000,000 grant through the New York State Office of Community Renewal. This funding will provide grants up to $75,000 to local small businesses recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The grants are for Madison County small businesses with 25 or fewer employees and can be used for a variety of purposes to help small businesses mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic on their business operations. Grants may not be used for construction and a 10 percent cash match is required.

Applicants with fewer than 5 employees may qualify if they are considered low or moderate income. All other applicants must create one or more jobs that are available to low- and moderate-income individuals.

Below you will find a short presentation summarizing the grant, detailed program guidelines, and an application form. 

The deadline for applications is April 3, 2023.
