HANOVER COUNTY, Va. -- The Hanover County Economic Development Authority and the Board of Supervisors launched the Small Business Resiliency Grant to provide relief to small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have made it a priority to facilitate distribution of the grant funds as quickly as possible,” said Linwood Thomas, director of the Hanover County Office of Economic Development. “We’re pleased to offer these grants to assist Hanover County businesses as they recover from closures and adapt to operating within the new safety guidelines issued by the Governor of Virginia.”

To be eligible businesses must show they were operational pre-COVID-19 and are suffering negative impacts due to coronavirus closures.
