Council supports small business relief funding

The San Marcos City Council almost unanimously supported the staff recommendations for Community Development Block Grant-Coronavirus funding, including $200,000 in relief for small businesses.

The city received four applications for a piece of the $425,261 in funding, three of which met the qualifications for the grant application. 

City council will continue to discuss the qualifying three with a vote to come on June 16: a COVID-19 small business recovery program, advocacy services for abused and neglected children and a COVID-19 collection station.
