(Indianapolis, IN) - La Porte County is among 42 recipients announced to receive a second round of COVID relief money from Indiana’s CARES Act allocation.  On Thursday, Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced that La Porte County will receive $250,000 to fund the La Porte County Action Fund, Working Capital, and Payroll Assistance Grants to businesses for retaining “low to moderate income” jobs.  The funds are designed to help local small businesses in the County that have been impacted by the pandemic.

This is the second distribution La Porte County has been awarded from the COVID-19 Response Program.  $250,000 was also received during “Phase 1” of the program in late spring.
