The Missouri Department of Economic Development provides grants to small businesses and the circle of family farms suffering from the coronavirus pandemic, and its trademarks provide non-public protective services.
Subsidy program for small businesses and agricultural families
Funded through the Federal CARES Act, the Small Business and Family Farm Subsidies Program provides subsidies to small businesses and the family farm circle to reimburse applicable expenses with commercial disruptions and closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Companies and farms in the circle of relatives can apply for the additious dressed ded.mo.gov/content/small-business-grant-program
The program is intended for “f in the gaps” that federal investment can’t cover either, said Maggie Kost, director of DED communications.
“Small businesses are reducing a gigantic contribution directly to the state economy and we are seeing a slow and stable pace for the economy, yet we are a long way from where we were before COVID,” he said. “We want to do what we can to get currencies back into the economy and the economy, and small businesses play a gigantic role in that.”
While the $30 million state grant is never limited to specific industries, the DED focuses primarily on the circle of family farms, retail stores, housing, catering, and fitness care, as instructed by the program.
THE DED began accepting programs beyond this week. The deadline to apply is August 31.
The DED will prioritize “highest influence industries” according to guidelines. However, if the investment is about to begin on September 1, review the programs of other eligible industries.
Individual grant amounts will first have a limit of $50,000; however, the DED can also provide more to recipients if additional investment is desired on October 15.
From the $30 million grant, $7.five will go to the circle of family farms and agricultural enterprises.
To qualify, applicants must:

Applicants must submit original receipts for eligible costs and documented payment directly to DED until November 1 to achieve a full refund.
According to the guidelines, eligible costs are unconditionally best friends who “are, by contrast, projected operational costs and directly applicable with COVID’s public fitness emergency.” These come with the threat premium for direct physical care workers, the most misleading rent for social distance, the overclassified ads that had to be paid when the business closed or sales decreased, workers’ wages were reduced or reduced hours, and the redesign of the website for e-commerce.
Ineligible expenses come with those reimbursed through insurance or with federal, state, or local funds.
“You have to change that overlap on a big block of those funding resources,” Kost said. “In fact, we don’t prefer other Americans to be duplicated.”
Costs that were not mandatory for the coronavirus pandemic are also not eligible.
Shaun Sappenfield, the current director of advertising at the Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce, said that while local businesses appear to reassert the pandemic, he urged small business owners to continue with the DED program.
“For me, it’s just an extra layer to support business,” he said. “If a combined apple feels that it has had an eligible charge under this program, and has incurred a partial or partial charge, by paying overtime, it would simply apply.”
Show me a counterfeit non-public equipment retrofit program
Also funded through the CARES Act, the $20 million Show Me Strong non-public protective device materials refit program grants EPI in Missouri to manufacturers, nonprofits, and other entities to reimburse fees to “retrofit existing services through purchasing and manufacturing devices” EPI in Missouri, according to the website.
