This week Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, a $2.2 trillion stimulus package and SBA programs have been designed to lead the way in small business recovery. Governor Kemp announced the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, the Georgia Department of Economic Development and the Small Business Development Centers are partnering to make sure that every small business in Georgia is aware of these programs. You can read the full press release here.

Beginning next week, a series of webinars will take place to help explain the small business assistance in the CARES Act. More information about these webinars and other tools to assist Georgia’s small businesses can be found at:
