The Food and Beverage Establishment Grant - Now Open
The Food and Beverage Establishment Grant is designed to provide relief to Ohio businesses that have been negatively impacted by the effects of COVID-19. The Governor of the State of Ohio, Mike DeWine, and the Ohio Legislature have designated up to one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) of funding to provide grants of up to $30,000 to Ohio bars and restaurants to assist in ensuring the survival and stability of this crucial industry. The DeWine-Husted Administration and the Ohio Legislature have determined that these grants are necessary to respond to the public health emergency by providing economic support to some of the businesses harmed by the effects of COVID-19. The Food and Beverage Establishment Grant will be administered by the Ohio Development Services Agency.
