Eligible businesses must be located within the Dayton city limits and must not be part of national chain. Street-level retailers, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, salons and barbers are among small businesses encouraged to consider applying for the program to distribute part of the city’s federal CARES Act funding, according to a Dayton news release.
The application period begins today and continues through Sept. 11. The total funding pool is $200,000.
Other sources have provided small businesses with operating expenses during the pandemic, but those funds were generally limited to costs such as rent and payroll, which are not qualifying expenses under the Dayton grant program, according to the city.
