INYO COUNTY PROVIDES COVID-19 RELIEF FUNDING
TO LOCAL BUSINESSES
October 29, 2020 - The County of Inyo has concluded its review of applications for small-business relief funding and is pleased to announce 78 local businesses will be benefiting from nearly $1 million in federal aid.
With funding provided through the CARES Act, Inyo County made available $800,000 for local businesses under the REVIVE program, which was approved by the Inyo County Board of Supervisors on August 18. The REVIVE program was designed by the County as a mechanism for providing grant assistance to small, independently owned businesses located in Inyo County, to aid in maintaining their business and workforce and thereby restoring vital and valuable local commerce.
Grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 were offered to eligible businesses that applied by the September 18 deadline and met the expressed, written criteria. The County received a total of 102 grant applications, 78 of which were approved with an average of $10,256 being awarded to the grantees.
Inyo County business owners who applied for REVIVE funding were notified October 23 whether they were selected for a grant. Successful applicants who complete the remaining required credentials will receive their funding no later than November 6, 2020. The lion’s share of the funding – $624,300 – will be electronically transferred on Monday, November 1 to 64 grantees who have already completed their paperwork.

“On behalf of the Inyo County Board of Supervisors, we are excited to be able to provide some much-needed relief to local businesses who are and have been struggling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Board Chairperson Matt Kingsley. “Small, independently owned businesses are the backbone of our communities, and we felt it was imperative to help find a way to get some relief to these entrepreneurs, protecting their future and the overall health of the Inyo County economy.
“The REVIVE program that the County created allowed us to distribute some of the County’s CARES Act allocation beyond internal fiscal needs and out to the community, and we’re confident that the REVIVE grant awards will be another positive step in getting our local business sectors back on track. To that end, County staff should be commended for overseeing this program with enthusiasm, professionalism, and dedication – often working late after hours to review applications – as well as for doing their due diligence when thoughtfully selecting grant award recipients.”
