Sen. Turner is partnering with the Illinois Department of
Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) to host a Back to
Business online webinar on Wednesday, May 3 at 10:30 a.m. to
assist businesses with the application process, and to answer
any questions related to eligibility. Representatives from DCEO
will be on hand to provide information and to guide business
owners.
“There are still so many businesses and industries within our
state that are struggling to fully recover from the effects of
the pandemic,” said Sen. Turner. “These Back to Business grants
are designed to provide much-needed financial relief for these
businesses, and this webinar will help ensure that they know
exactly what they need to do to apply.”
The Back to Business program’s new round of grants has $175
million available to provide to qualifying restaurants, hotels,
and creative arts organizations. All applicants will receive a
grant as long as they meet eligibility requirements and submit
proper documentation and attestations required by the program.
