Business Recovery
The State's latest round of accepting applications for financial assistance for businesses has now closed.
The state released its fifth round of funding at 3PM yesterday and it closed quickly when the initial limit for funding requests was reached shortly after opening. Do keep checking the Business Oregon link, because they plan to post updates if, after initial review of applications received, there is room for more applicants. Also, if you need assistance, visit the Washington County Business Recovery Centers website to find out what they can do to help or to set up a consultation for you!
