NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — On Wednesday, the governor announced an initial $50 million in federal coronavirus relief funds for the new Supplemental Employer Recovery Grant (SERG) aimed at small businesses.
The program is to provide additional relief to small businesses suffering during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The new wave of funding includes specific support for minority owned, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses, as well as businesses owned by people with disabilities.
