More than 300 ClackCo small businesses receive grants to support pandemic recovery

Clackamas County, in partnership with Micro Enterprise Services of Oregon (MESO), recently awarded another $2.3 million in grants to small businesses in the county that were adversely affected by economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.  

The grants, for $7,500 each, were provided to more than 300 local businesses. Priority was given to businesses that had not received previous pandemic recovery grants, along with businesses owned by minorities, women and veterans, and businesses with storefronts.

MESO sent award announcements to the selected businesses, and to the businesses that applied but were not able to receive grants due to lack of funding.
