Nov 19, 2020

With her “freeze” order set to take in effect Wednesday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said Wednesday the state will allocate $55 million in financial assistance to businesses hurt by the coronavirus pandemic.

The money will be distributed by county, based on population, and each county will be responsible for managing applications. Brown’s office said financial assistance will be prioritized for businesses in the hospitality industry, those hurt by the freeze order, small businesses and those from Black, Native American and other historically disadvantaged communities.
