Time’s running out for small businesses impacted by COVID-19 to apply for federal relief grants administered by SelectCobb, the economic development arm of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce.
The deadline is this Friday, June 26, at 5 p.m., and you’re eligible if you are a Cobb-based business with 100 employees or less. Home-based businesses also are eligible.
A total of $50 million in grant funding comes through the federal CARES Act and was approved by the Cobb Board of Commissioners. Money can be used for payroll and other business expenses. A short video on the program can be seen here.
Here’s more from the county on how the grant program breaks down:
- One to ten employees: up to $20,000
- 11 to 50 employees: up to $30,000
- 51 to 100 employees: up to $40,000

An independent panel appointed by Select Cobb will review all applications, and priority will not be given to Cobb Chamber members.
