Get Nebraska Growing: DED to Co-Administer COVID-19 Relief Grants
As announced today by Gov. Pete Ricketts, the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) will co-administer four new State grant programs — utilizing $392 million in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act COVID-19 Relief funding — to help support Nebraska’s economic recovery.
The grants are designed to provide assistance to individuals, families and businesses that have been economically impacted by COVID-19, and will fill gaps by addressing four critical areas of need:
- Financial support (i.e., support for operating costs) for small businesses and for livestock producers.
- Workforce training and retraining for un- and underemployed Nebraskans.
- Enhanced rural broadband access.
- Gallup-based leadership training to promote positive outcomes for impacted businesses.
