The Lancaster County commissioners are set to approve another $1.2 million in grants to struggling local businesses today, with another $3.2 million possible as early as next week.
At their meeting this morning, commissioners are expected to approve grants to 81 businesses totaling $1,172,219 as part of a local economic stimulus program being run in partnership with the Economic Development Corporation of Lancaster and Lancaster Chamber. The program is paid for with a portion of the $96 million in federal CARES Act funds the county received earlier this year.
The action would bring the total amount of grants under the program to nearly $38 million, reaching 1,298 businesses across the county.
