The City of Newport News and its Economic Development Authority have established a grant program to support local, small businesses impacted by the pandemic. The COVID-19 Small Business Resiliency Grant is designed to provide one-time financial assistance to eligible for-profit, small businesses in Newport News, excluding franchises and national chains, in amounts not to exceed $5,000. Grant funding is limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Awards will be based on the availability of funds, program guidelines and submission of a complete application along with supporting documentation.
