COVID-19 is a deadly virus for which there is currently no vaccine, and across the nation cities are struggling with how best to reopen their economies while protecting the health and welfare of their residents, and Milwaukee is no different.
The City of Milwaukee has launched the Milwaukee Business Restart program website where you can find out how the Milwaukee Restart program uses federal relief funds to assist established Milwaukee businesses as they recover from COVID-19-related setbacks.
The website can be accessed by searching collaboratively with the Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation, city government will provide grants to businesses so that they can restock perishable inventory, purchase personal protective equipment, and accommodate social distancing guidance.
The program is targeted at small businesses significantly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis as the city works to support the restart of neighborhood businesses in all parts of Milwaukee.
The city anticipates disbursing grants in the coming weeks and will accept applications from eligible businesses between May 28 and June 12.
