City of Batavia issued the following announcement on Sept. 2.
The City of Batavia, the Batavia Chamber of Commerce and Batavia MainStreet know this has been a challenging time for the community. The three organizations worked together to create the initiative Batavia Reconnected. This is a program created to keep our residents informed and increase customer confidence that our businesses and not-for-profits are taking measures to keep their facilities safe. To that end, we know that our local businesses and not-for-profits have been dramatically impacted by this pandemic and did not have a budget for COVID related items. Batavia Reconnected is pleased to provide a grant of $20,000 to be allocated to the local business and not-for-profit entities that are open to the public to ease their financial burden and take safety precautions for our community.
Businesses and not-for-profits that are located within the City of Batavia, employing less than 10 full-time employees, and that accommodate the public in-person are eligible for this grant up to $1,000. Grants will be provided on a first come first served basis. When completed, eligible applications for $20,000 have been received the application period will be closed and applicants will be notified. Please see the application for eligible reimbursement items to be purchased and for reimbursement for items already purchased.
Application may be submitted immediately, but no later than Thursday, September 17, 2020 at 5:00 PM to covidgrants@cityofbatavia.net. To be considered you must submit a W-9 with your application. No businesses who previously received a COVID-19 grant can re-apply.
If you have any questions regarding the application, please contact Anthony Isom, Assistant to the City Administrator at (630)454-2052.
