PANDEMIC RELATED RESOURCES
The Lincoln County EDC is a local economic development council that contracts with the Washington Department of Commerce to provide economic development services on behalf of Lincoln County. This partnership with the County and Commerce puts the EDC in position to learn about pandemic related resources as they come available to businesses. For businesses affected negatively, the EDC is the contact for state and county level small business recovery funding and resources. For businesses positively affected, the EDC can provide resources for strengthening and expanding your business (see links below.)
FUNDING FOR SMALL BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THE PANDEMIC
The best way for Lincoln County business owners to stay informed of small business relief funding is to get on the EDC’s affected business list. When the EDC learns about a funding opportunity the first thing we do is notify the businesses on this list. We know these businesses have been affected by the pandemic and this is how we can reach them quickly. If your business is not on our list, email your name and business name to Janice@LincolnEDC.org
$25.5 Billion in COVID-19 Provider Relief Funding
