City of Issaquah Business Recovery Grant
As the pandemic restrictions on business operations were increased in the fourth quarter of 2020 and continues to not allow full operations into 2021, the City has allocated an additional $250,000 in funding for direct business grants. These grants are intended to support businesses that continue to be negatively impacted by restrictions on business operations.
The Business Recovery Grant is available to home-based businesses and brick and mortar businesses up to 25 employees. Businesses that have received grant funding from the City in 2020 are not eligible for this grant program. Uncertain if your business received a grant in 2020? View the list of business grants.
