Hello Business Owner-
DECD started accepting applications for the Connecticut CARES Small Business Grant Program. Small businesses and nonprofits in Connecticut with a 2019 annualized payroll of less than $1.5 million OR 20 or fewer employees can receive a one-time grant of $5,000. All funding will be disbursed by the end of December and will not require repayment.
The grant can be used for rent, payroll, utilities, inventory or complying with the CT Reopen Business Sector Rules. Full details including eligibility requirements, a schedule for virtual office hours, FAQs, other resources, and the application can be found here.
The $50 million program, funded from Connecticut’s portion of the federal CARES Act, will provide aid to small businesses and nonprofits that continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19.
The grant application will only be available for a limited time. We anticipate closing the application by 5:00 p.m., Thursday, November 19, 2020 but this is highly dependent on demand. I encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Salisbury Bank Starts its Annual “We Believe” Program,
Collecting New Unwrapped Gifts for Local Children
Please join Salisbury Bank in bringing holiday magic to special children through its “We Believe” Program.
“As we kick off our 33rd annual toy drive, we encourage the community to join us in experiencing the joy of giving this holiday season,” said Rick Cantele, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Making a difference in our community is important to us and working together, we can provide a I magical holiday season for some very special children.”
Together, we can help to make this a very special time of year for local children who would otherwise not experience the joy of the holiday season. You can drop off new, unwrapped gifts at any of Salisbury Bank’s fourteen offices by December 11th. Due to the pandemic, we are encouraging gift cards and cash donations for local families during these unprecedented and difficult times.
Gift ideas include, but are not limited to, sports equipment and balls, books, board games, hand-held electronic games, backpacks, building sets, craft kits, purses, and cosmetics. Additionally, gift cards to local retailers are always an excellent option.
Salisbury Bank is extremely thankful to all of the individuals and local businesses who have contributed over the past 30+ years and is looking forward to another successful holiday season.

Special Event: Neighbors Helping Neighbors: A Film by Anne Makepeace followed by a participatory community discussion
November 19 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Cosponsored by the the Events Committee of the Salisbury Association, Hotchkiss Library, and Noble Horizons
Ordinary people make an extraordinary difference every day in the Northwest corner. Most of us are unaware of the amazing contributions brought to our community by our volunteer first responders. They are insurance agents, carpenters, teachers and teenagers, all rigorously trained and ready to help in any emergency, 24/7. These are the community members that are there when we need them most. Yet their contributions are often untold and unsung.
Makepeace poignantly captures the steadfast heart and dedication of these local heroes in this powerful short film, required viewing by every resident of our community. Join Makepeace and Executive Producer Mary Oppenheimer in a participatory panel discussion along with some of the featured first responders, and learn other ways you too can make a difference.
For more information and to register go to events on the Scoville Memorial Library’s website scovillelibrary.org
