The City of Osawatomie is seeking information from local businesses through an online survey to gauge what effect the Coronavirus pandemic has had on their operations.
The information is being collected to determine which businesses might qualify for a new COVID related Grant Program. In a media release the City says the program is part of the CARES Act and requires Cities to submit a group application on behalf of the Community. The City wants a quick baseline of information to help sort through businesses that may qualify for Relief Funds. According to the Miami County Republic, City Officials are encouraging anyone who owns or operates a local business to fill out the survey, called City of Osawatomie COVID 19 Impact Survey: Phase 1. A link to the survey can be found on the City Facebook page and website under the “Our Community” tab, then “COVID 19 Updates” folder.
City Officials say they want to hit the ground running when Phase Two of the Governor Kellys Plan kicks in. That is supposed to be on May 18th. As soon as the City knows more about the program, they will contact business owners interested in being a part.
