Harrisburg Small Business Grant Program
Small Business Emergency Grant Program Announced
The City of Harrisburg cares about it's small businesses, and due to the American Relief Program, has put together a Small Business Emergency Grant Program.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW: On June 8, 2021, the City Council for the City of Harrisburg established an emergency business grant program for small retail sales and personal service businesses in the City of Harrisburg. The City pays for this grant from our Community and Economic Development Program, from funds received from the Federal Government through the ARP Program.
Eligibility in this grant program is based upon a financial need resulting in shut-off notices and past due amounts due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, and the continued economic crisis that resulted in the current state of inflation. The City of Harrisburg will pay for your past due amounts on utilities, rent, mortgage, payroll, and outstanding invoices necessary to continue performing business functions up to a maximum of $500 per month. Program funds are limited to $5,000, and funds are paid out on a first come first-served basis*.
(*Applications will be dated, and time stamped by the City when they are received, only if they are complete & accurate.)
The applicant need not repay any funds awarded if all program conditions are met.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: To be eligible the following requirements must be met:
- The business must have 15 employees or less.
- Only one payment request per month per business owner.
- The business must operate within city limits and is located in the C-1 Commercial zone.
- The grant applicant must have a current Harrisburg business license for the last six months.
- The grant applicant must have a commercial business license and be in the business of retail sales, personal, or commercial business services.
- Proof of shut-off notice, past due notice, payment plan, or any other overdue notice from any utility company (including the City of Harrisburg), landlord, mortgage company or vendor who provides necessary services or products to keep the business functioning and the doors open to the public. Multiple, and current notices can be submitted, up to the maximum of $500 per month. Notices must be within the last month!
RESTRICTIONS: industrial businesses, large businesses, manufacturers, and banks, or to social gaming license holders, solicitation license holders or home occupation license holders.
