			 Applications are due the 15th of June. 
 Because we are uncertain of the duration of this economic hardship 
			our plans are based on thirty-day intervals which will enable us to 
			update our plan with the latest information available and remain 
			flexible.
 
 We have allocated $ 60,000.00 for the COVID-19 Relief Fund. A 
			business can be granted up to $5,000.00. We have tried to make the 
			process easy to use to allow the EDPB a quick turn around on the 
			applications. The EDPB has the right to ask for additional 
			information if applicable.
 
			
			 The EDPB is asking only two things of our local 
			business. The first is to work quickly in getting your application 
			form filled out and submitted as we plan to review submitted 
			applications on May 16th and monies distributed the week of May 
			18th.

            Second, we ask that you please be honest and prudent 
			in stating what your business currently needs. This will allow us to 
			better serve our community for the days and months to come. We 
			understand that all businesses are being affected at different 
			extremes by this economic shut down. We hope that our local business 
			community will be able to weather this storm together and support 
			each other in these trying times.
 Thank You,
 The Economic Development and Planning Board
