PA30Day

This is a forgivable loan program for PA-based small businesses called the Pennsylvania 30 Day Fund. The forgivable loan is to provide immediate financial assistance (with a max of three days) to meet payroll, preserve healthcare coverage for employees and save jobs while they wait on recently approved federal funding.

Pandemic Unemployment Assistance

Covid-19 Hospitality Industry Relief Program (CHIRP)

Cumberland County will be receiving nearly $2.9M from the State to support hospitality industry businesses (MUST BE: NAICS Codes 721 or 722). As a Certified Economic Development Organization (CEDO), the Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation anticipates the Cumberland County Commissioners will authorize CAEDC to administer this grant program. Per the Act, the program is to begin by March 15, with a maximum of $50,000 in grant funds going to eligible applicants on a first-come-first serve basis, until funds have been exhausted.

Eligibility will depend on criteria related to ownership, revenue loss during the pandemic and other business related criteria. The guidelines are currently being developed and will be available prior to program launch on March 15th.
