ROGUE VALLEY, Ore — Businesses impacted by the pandemic, now have until Thursday to submit applications for grant funding.
SOREDI says the grant will help businesses specifically affected by Jackson and Josephine counties’ extreme risk level placement weeks ago.
Officials note that business owners must submit proper documentation to avoid an automatic denial.
“Owners should include financial reports, a signed W-9 and payroll records.” said Colleen Padilla, director of SOREDI.
