Otsego Now Offers Disaster Emergency Grants to Small Otsego County Businesses

Otsego County businesses and not-for-profit corporations with fewer than 50 employees are now eligible for grants up to $500 to purchase personal protective equipment (PPE) or install fixtures to prevent the spread of Covid-19. It's all thanks to Otsego Now which has established a State Disaster Emergency Grant Program for Otsego
County, with financial assistance from the Community Foundation of Otsego
County and the Cooperstown Foundation. According to Otsego Now, the total funding now available for grant awards is $50,000.

The grants will be available while Governor Andrew Cuomo's Executive Order 202 of 2020 is in effect. To access the guidelines and application to apply click here.
