City Partners to Fund Business Needs
As part of Redmond’s COVID-19 Recovery Program, the City partnered with OneRedmond to distribute financial grants to businesses negatively affected by the pandemic.

In addition, last week Governor Inslee announced a $15 million federal grant which will be used to provide aid to businesses impacted by the pandemic.
