Sutter County issued the following announcement.
Sutter County’s community support program has resulted in grants totaling almost $2 million to 104 small businesses and 31 non-profit agencies impacted by COVID-19.
The Sutter County Board of Supervisors authorized the Small Business Economic Resiliency Grant program in response to the financial losses encountered by businesses during
the pandemic. The program was possible because of federal funding authorized in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Recovery Act signed by President Trump in the
summer after bi-partisan approval in Congress. The Yuba-Sutter Economic Development Corporation administered the program.
“We’re very proud of this program and our partnership with Yuba Sutter Economic Development Corporation to get money into the hands of our local businesses and nonprofits
who were impacted as a result of COVID-19.” – said Ron Sullenger, chair, Sutter County Board of Supervisors.
Altogether, Sutter County has authorized up to $4 million to go toward community support programs to help our County recover. In addition to the small business and nonprofit
programs, Sutter County has given $145,875 to the Yuba Sutter Food Bank to help with home food delivery for vulnerable people and to respond the greater need for food
distribution due to COVID-19’s impact on the local economy. The Sutter County Superintendent of Schools is administering an $800,000 program to provide support to families who
have increased child care costs due to school closures.
