On July 6, Lee County will launch its COVID-19 business assistance program for job creation.

The program, referred to as Business Rehire, will provide grant funding to small businesses for rehiring full-time equivalent positions that were on the payroll as of March 1. Eligible positions must be rehired on or after July 6.

It also provides grants of $5,000 per full-time equivalent positions rehired, up to $10,000 for businesses with 10 or fewer employees or up to $20,000 for larger qualified businesses with fewer than 250 employees.
