Recently Governor Kim Reynolds launched the Iowa Small Business Relief Program to provide financial assistance to small businesses that have been economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A few businesses in Knoxville were recently informed that they will be recipients. Businesses receiving funding in Knoxville include $25,000 to Chaos &e LLC, $20,000 to Manny’s Dinner LLC, $10,001 to Bottoms Up and $15,000 to Dingus Inc. In Pleasantville North End Tavern LLC will receive $15,000

In total over $10 million dollars has been handed out to small businesses throughout the state to help deal with the economic impacts presented by the disease. At this time all available funds have been expended. If additional funding becomes available, additional awards will be made from the current pool of applicants. IEDA will not open a new round of applications. Eligible businesses/applicants that do not receive a notification between April 7-10 will be considered for potential funding rounds in the future.
