Businesses that were indirectly impacted by EO 20-99, which is defined as a business that primarily derives income from sales of goods and services to businesses that were directly closed as a result of EO 20-99, are also eligible to apply for this program.
Businesses mentioned above along with convention centers and movie theaters who received appropriation payments directly from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (MN DEED) and the Minnesota Department of Revenue (MN DOR) are also eligible to apply for these local county relief funds.
Nonprofit and community asset businesses, such as bars or restaurants operated by a VFW Post or American Legion Post, community fitness centers, ice arenas and other entities that earn revenue similar to a for-profit business that had to cease operations due to EO 20-99 are also eligible for this program.
Businesses who received earlier Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act assistance, including the Scott County COVID-19 Business Recovery Grants, are eligible for this program, but you must apply again for this new program to be eligible for these funds.
