County To Stop Accepting Applications For $25M Relief Program

SILVER SPRING, MD — Small businesses and nonprofits hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic have until 5 p.m. on Saturday to apply for Montgomery County's Public Health Emergency Grant (PHEG) program.

The deadline was set after officials said they received more than 6,200 applications in a little more than a week.

The $25 million program provides up to $75,000 to struggling businesses and nonprofit organizations with 100 employees or fewer in Montgomery County.

As the application deadline fast approaches, officials are encouraging businesses to explore other forms of state and federal assistance. Resources include:
