July 15, 2020 — The City of Kenai has launched two more grant programs to offer financial assistance in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These grants are aimed at smaller businesses and commercial fishing operations that may have missed out on the first round of funds.
July 1, the Kenai City Council approved two new grant programs: one for businesses that have a gross annual revenue of between $25,000 and $50,000, and another for Kenai residents who have an Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission permit.
Applicants will be eligible for a $1,000 grant, drawn from the $7.7 million in federal funding that the city is set to receive through the federal coronavirus relief package. The application period is open now and will close Aug. 30.
