The application window is open for Northumberland County businesses, organizations, and municipalities to apply to receive part of an $8.2 million grant the county received to assist them with COVID-19 expenses.
The deadline to apply to the county is Aug. 24. The funds do not have to be repaid.
The COVID-19 County Relief Block Grant (CRBG) funds must be for the prevention, preparedness, and response to the COVID-19 crisis.

The grant is from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities Act (CARES Act), through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.
SEDA-Council of Governments (SEDA-COG) is assisting the county by providing professional expertise and grant administrative services, as well as activity development and management to ensure accuracy and adherence with federal and state regulations.
