Through this funding, Evers has allocated $75 million in assistance for small businesses, according to the press release.
Wisconsin small businesses will be able to apply for grants that help cover wages and salaries, rent, mortgages and inventory.
To apply for the grants, small businesses must comply to the guidelines set by Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC).
“With its comprehensive approach that looks at businesses’ immediate and long-term needs, We’re All In will provide both the ‘starter fluid’ to restart our state’s economic engine and a road map to recovery,” said Missy Hughes, WEDC secretary and CEO, in the press release.
In addition to Wisconsin’s We’re All In initiative, Mayor Tom Barrett recently announced the Milwaukee Business Restart program, which aims to assist local businesses in Milwaukee as they begin to reopen, according to the press release.
