Governor lists first round of state COVID relief

Gov. Steve Bullock announced Tuesday the first round of grants from the $1.25 billion the federal government provided to Montana through the CARES Act to help the state deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I want to be clear, this is just an initial round of funding based on the immediate needs identified by Montanans and small businesses," Bullock said. "There will certainly be additional funding announced in the future, and we’ll closely monitor the demand for this first round of emergency grants to adjust as needed to ensure that Montanans are getting relief."
