City of Seattle expands programs for small business owners

Tuesday, the City of Seattle's Office of Economic Development announced $1.9 million is available in the Commercial Tenant Improvement Fund, funded through Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery money. Seattle-based small businesses can apply for grants of up to $100,000 to build out commercial spaces and make commercial improvements more affordable.
Preference will be given to projects that respond to a need to fill empty storefronts in Seattle and help businesses access the funding they need to get back on their feed after the challenges of the pandemic.
