Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts Announces Targeted Grant Programs to Support Businesses Hard Hit by Pandemic

At a press conference on October 19th, Governor Ricketts reported that this grant funding is part of the $1.25 billion Nebraska received in federal CARES Act funding to respond to the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year. Under federal law, $166 million went directly to Omaha’s Douglas County, leaving $1.084 billion for the rest of the state. As of this time, only approximately $591 Million of that funding has been allocated which makes this targeted grant program possible. The State plans on releasing funding from this grant program by December 30, 2020.
