The Business Telework Assistance Grant Program assists businesses with retaining and creating jobs across the state. The program provides grants of up to $25,000 to help businesses expand telework capabilities for their employees. These grants will help applicants purchase the equipment necessary to develop and implement telework policies, including hardware, software, and technical services.
