COVID-19 Relief Program
In an effort to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our local businesses and economy, the Rollingwood Community Development Corporation voted to earmark $100,000 for the COVID-19 Relief Program, which provides up to $10,000 per qualifying business. These grants will help local businesses retain the employees and resources needed to survive during these trying times. The grants will be made available pending final approval of the RCDC Board of Directors. Grants will be provided only to businesses within the city limits of the City of Rollingwood. Applications and supporting information is due to the RCDC on or before Thursday, May 14, 2020, by 12:00 p.m.
