TAMPA, Fla. - As businesses still work to recover nearly five weeks after Hurricane Milton, there are grants available for those who were impacted.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation has a new program that's offering $5,000 to 1,000 eligible small businesses. It's called the Small Business Hurricane Recovery Grant Program, which is in partnership with American Express, officials said.
The hope is that the program will support small businesses impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The program will provide $5 million in funding and distribute $5,000 grants to 1,000 eligible small businesses across the Southeast to support storm-related recovery.
