There is a very short window for small businesses to apply to the state of Illinois for grants and loans. Mayor Rod Davies has more:
“It is from March 27 to April 1st. This program is offered by the State of Illinois and is administered by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, also known as DCEO. You can apply for this on the DCEO website; also we have a lot of information in a link on the city of Monmouth website, http://cityofmonmouth.com. This could be a very important program to help a lot of our small businesses who are experiencing declining revenue and sales for having to be closed during this COVID-19 pandemic,” Davies states.
