Olmsted County is pleased to announce the recipients of the second round of the Olmsted County Small Business Relief Grant Program. The CARES Act funded grant program was administered by Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc. (RAEDI), as was the first round.

Of the 186 applications received by RAEDI for round two of the Olmsted County Small Business Relief Grant Program, 116 organizations fully completed the application, and 57 businesses were fully eligible to receive grant program funds.

Through round two of the program, $687,157.50 (about 59% of the $1.17 million allocation) is being awarded. RAEDI is still processing documentation for a handful of businesses, which could change the Olmsted County award amount and total number of awardees.

Between the two rounds of the program, $3.886 million (about 97% of the original $4 million) was awarded to 251 small businesses. The median net revenue loss for round two program awardees for the first four months of the COVID pandemic was $41,822.

For the businesses receiving funds as part of round two:

36 (63% of awardees) will receive the full amount of $15,000.
35 (61% of awardees) employed six or fewer FTEs.
25 (44% of awardees) are majority owned by women.
