35 COVID-19 relief grants totalling $12, 250 will be distributed by the Aurora Downtown COVID-19 Response Fund. The fund was launched by Aurora Downtown.
Aurora Downtown is a non-profit group of business and property owners. The fund accepted grant applications from businesses located in SSA #One to help provide financial relief from the pandemic.
All the grant applicants located within SSA #One with $350 grants each were funded through Aurora Downtown’s Business Attraction and Retention (BAR) committee.

We were able to fund 35 applicants that represent a diverse cross section of businesses located in Downtown Aurora.”
