This is the second round of Wilco Forward small business grants funded by CARES Act funds. The Williamson County Commissioners Court approved allocating $10 million to fund Phase 2 of the program during the Commissioners Court meeting held on Tuesday, March 10.

“We will be reaching out directly to any applicants that were previously denied,” said Williamson County Treasurer Scott Heselmeyer. “Grants totaling $551,500 to 84 businesses have been approved so far. We want to make sure we are reaching all eligible businesses to provide them with the assistance they desperately need due to the pandemic.”
