Norcross offers small business grant program

The city of Norcross, in partnership with Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs, is investing $600,000 of American Rescue Plan Act funding into a small business grant program.

The grant program will help small businesses negatively impacted by COVID-19 retain employees and pay operating expenses. Grant awards given to the businesses will be based on their 2019 annual revenue, according to a press release.

Qualified businesses can use the grants to help pay rent, payroll, insurance, utility bills and other operating expenses, the announcement said.
