An important deadline is approaching for local businesses to seek grant help.

Fulton County Officials, in cooperation with Fulton Economic Development Corporation (FEDCO), successfully applied for Indiana’s Office of Community and Rural Affair’s COVID-19 Immediate Response Grant Funding in the amount of $250,000. 

Fulton County may now offer grants to Fulton County businesses including businesses in high risk categories such as hospitality/tourism, food and beverage, personal care, professional services, and retail sectors. The goal of this program is to retain jobs and 51% of the jobs retained must be held by LMI (Low to Moderate Income) persons. LMI is defined as total household income equal to or less than 80% of the median family income for Fulton County.

Rochester City Councilman Brian Goodman.

Applications and all forms are due by Monday, June 1, 12:00 noon.  Applications will not be accepted after this time. The approximate date for funds release is the end of June.
