Kingsville offers business relaunch fund

KINGSVILLE — Eligible businesses within the Town of Kingsville can now apply for up to $750.00 in funding to help offset operating costs related to COVID-19.

“The Town recognizes keeping employees and customers safe has resulted in increased expenditures for our local business community,” said Kingsville Mayor, Nelson Santos. “Businesses are spending more on fixtures, equipment, and enhanced cleaning measures in order to stay vigilant in the fight against the virus, and as our region moves forward with each stage of the Province’s reopening plan, those costs continue to add up.”

The Business Relaunch Fund is a one-time payment to help businesses offset a portion of the expenses associated with operating under new safety guidelines.

To be eligible, businesses must be: located in the Town of Kingsville, be a registered business or a non-profit, charity, or cultural organization, and be operating out of property assessed in the commercial class.

Interested applicants can access the Business Relaunch Application Form and eligibility details on the Town’s website at www.kingsville. ca/relaunch. Applications will be accepted from August 24, 2020 to October 23, 2020.
