The Weld County Board of Commissioners has dedicated $2 million to assist Weld County businesses that have had to close or have had to significantly reduce their services since November 1, 2020, due to state COVID-19 restrictions.

Upstate Colorado will administer the grant program for the county, just as it did for the two rounds of CARES fund grants earlier this fall. This new round of grants, however, is aimed at providing financial relief to businesses specifically affected by state restrictions including: restaurants; bars and other food and beverage service providers; live event venues; movie theaters; gyms and fitness centers; bowling centers; arcades; and other recreation facilities.
