Cuyahoga County awarded grants to 55 small businesses. Here’s who got them: Stimulus Watch

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cuyahoga County has announced the recipients of 55 small business grants, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.

The grants, which ranged from $10,000 to $50,000, totaled $1.5 million and were allocated to a variety of companies, including fitness centers, car care companies, graphic design companies and others, according to a news release from Cuyahoga County.

The grants are funded by a chunk of Cuyahoga County’s $240 million ARPA allocation, but the 2,800 applications were reviewed by the National Development Council and were approved by a 13-member committee mostly comprised of local nonprofits, according to the release.

Minority grant applicants and those who received other funds were given priority in grant consideration, according to the news release.

“These grants will help dozens of small businesses grow through the purchase of new equipment, upgrading technology, and hiring of additional staff,” Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish said in a news release.

This fund, the STIMulus Grant Program, builds on other COVID-19 relief funds the county has dedicated to restaurants and small businesses. Put together, the various small business grants total $14 million, according to the news release.
