Regarding Status Report on the Small Business Grant Program for COVID-19 Protective Measures, Phase One by the County of Santa Clara, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. By last Thanksgiving, 302 small business grants were authorized for a total of $708,300. Every one of the grant winners were met personally to finish required paperwork and, if they wished, to discuss their circumstances and other resources. Winners expressed their appreciation for the County Supervisors for their support and our assistance. They provided heart-breaking stories among the heart-warming and success stories. All in all, it was a touching and impactful experience.
