The Clallam County Economic Development Council (Clallam EDC) submitted a grant application on behalf of our partners and were selected to receive coronavirus state fiscal recovery funds through the Washington State Department of Commerce’s Small Business Innovation Fund.
The intent of the program is to spur small business recovery, startup, and growth. This funding will focus on initiatives that serve BIPOC entrepreneurs, women-owned small businesses, and small businesses located in underserved, low-income, and rural areas.
Clallam EDC and its partners created the Olympic Peninsula Small Business BOOST! program to support underserved business owners located and doing business in Clallam, Jefferson and Grays Harbor Counties.
We anticipate we will award two to four contracts totaling approximately $120,000 of legal services. The partners will identify which businesses will receive legal support and the types of services to be provided to each business.
The partners seek flat rate small business legal services from January 2023 until May 31, 2023 to support selected business owners in the three-county region for small business legal services. The partners are prepared to review proposals from individuals or firms to provide these services.
