Deadline extended for pandemic relief funding in Tennessee for small business owners

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is encouraging small business owners who have not filed for COVID relief assistance to do so while the application time is extended.

Lee announced Friday that companies and individuals have until Sept. 30 to certify for the Tennessee Business Relief Program. Those federal dollars were allocated through the CARES act and Lee says the extra funding could be a lifeline for those owners hit hard by pandemic closures and loss of revenue.

Recent data shows more than $120 million dollars is still available that could help up to 15,000 businesses.
