Cares Act Funding Now Available for Local Businesses
Businessresources page available on city website
As small businesses across the country are grappling with the current and potential impacts associated with COVID-19, the City of Arcadia is continuing to track the latest developments from local, state, and federal agencies. Of critical importance, the CARES Act, which contains $376 billion in relief for American workers and small businesses, is now accepting funding requests from small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak.
In addition to traditional SBA funding programs, the CARES Act establishes several new programs that provide small businesses with forgivable short-term loans, tax and debt relief, and other funding sources to help businesses stay solvent and keep workers employed. Importantly, funding for many of these programs is first-come, first-serve and all Arcadia businesses impacted by COVID-19 are encouraged to review and apply for this funding.
Visit the city’s business resources page at ArcadiaCA.gov/LocalBusiness for more information and links to these important programs. This page is updated frequently as new information and resources become available. If you have questions, call (626) 574-5415 and the city will connect you with the best available resources for your specific needs.
