In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, San Diego's small businesses struggled to stay afloat. San Diego County founed the Small Business Stimulus Grant Program to provide economic assistance to businesses and nonprofits impacted by COVID-19, helping them pay back rent, payroll, and other operational expenses. Since taking office, Supervisor Anderson has awarded over $5 million to businesses and nonprofits in his district through this grant program.
This event was an excellent opportunity to hear from those who benefited from a San Diego County Small Business Stimulus Grant. Representatives from business and nonprofit recipients shared their testimonials with Supervisor Anderson.
