Round 2 Highlights:
- Applications for Round 2 will be accepted October 15, 2020 through November 15, 2020. Applications must be submitted online at www.weldrecovery.com.
- The same review committee from Round 1, compromised of stakeholders throughout Weld County, will oversee the eligibility of applications. Grant funds will be distributed to eligible applications by December 15, 2020.
- Applicants who meet the eligibility requirements of Round 1 may apply for Round 2 if they have additional expenses or lost revenue not covered by Round 1 funding.
