The first round of Manhattan Business Emergency Assistance Loans were distributed this week from the City of Manhattan’s Economic Development Fund.
All told, 47 local businesses have received $208,840 in assistance. Most of those were directly deposited this week, within 10 days of the city commission approving the half million dollar loan request from the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce to create a relief fund. Chamber President and CEO Jason Smith explains how businesses will utilize those funds.
“Those were primarily to take care of immediate bills like rent, utilities, things that would have potentially created a long-term detrimental impact on that business,” he said.
Businesses can apply for up to $5,000 through the relief program. The no-interest loans must be paid off in 36 months and the first four months require no payments.
