CARES Act Grant Workshop

Description

COVID-19 continues to challenge our community and affect our way of life. While we are going through a difficult time now, we know there will be brighter days ahead. We remain focused on how we can better support our residents, businesses, workers, and the community-at-large.
In order to ensure a successful economic recovery of our area from the virus, we are supplying more than $5.6 million dollars in assistance to businesses and individuals.
It is our expectation that, by fulfilling our role in economic recovery, we will come back from the COVID-19 pandemic stronger than ever before.
We encourage you to apply for and utilize these financial resources and be a part of our successful recovery.
 
Most Sincerely,
 
Robert A. “Trey” Goodwin III, Chairman
Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners
