Bismarck\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The North Dakota Department of Commerce has announced that the Hospitality Economic Resiliency Grant (HERG) application will begin on Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. CST and will close on Dec. 4 at 5 p.m. CST.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to navigate and adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, the state of North Dakota remains committed to finding solutions to help alleviate the impacts on businesses while mitigating the spread of disease,\u201d Gov. Doug Burgum said. \u201cWe are grateful to have the ability to offer the HERG to businesses that are vital to employment, tourism and the quality of life for our residents and guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Due to the continuing need of assistance, Commerce created the HERG focus on reimbursing hospitality businesses that were directly impacted by Executive Order 2020-06. This includes all restaurants, bars, breweries, cafes and similar on-site dining establishments.<\/p>\n

Eligible entities also include theaters, drama, music and entertainment venues, as well as professional production companies who support major venues, meetings and events.<\/p>\n

Hotels with restaurants, bars, coffee shops and or\u00a0banquets\/meeting space may apply for\u00a0a grant using the operational expenses from those specific operations.\u00a0The receipts must\u00a0clearly show this\u00a0connection such as food costs\u00a0or staffing.<\/p>\n

Funds must be used to reimburse eligible entities for costs in operations, like payroll, rent, utilities, and other expenses that comply with CARES Act federal and\/or CDC guidelines that have resulted due to the closures and lack of consumer confidence to return to the marketplace. Eligible expenses must have been incurred on or after March 27, 2020, and no later than date of application.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commerce team is honored to have the opportunity to continue leading efforts to promote resiliency among North Dakota\u2019s hospitality community,\u201d Interim Commerce Commissioner Shawn Kessel said. \u201cWe hope this grant ensures these businesses remain open and continue to be strong pillars for our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commerce was approved by the Emergency Commission to use the remaining ERG funds estimated to be approximately $25 million and an additional $29 million for the HERG to support more than 3,000 food service, drinking establishment, entertainment venues and professional production companies operating in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Applicants may receive up to $25,000 and eligible entities with multiple locations may receive up to $75,000. A max of $25,000 will be allowed per location. Grant recipients are required to comply with ND Smart Restart protocols.<\/p>\n

Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served\u00a0basis. Funding will be approved if the application meets all criteria and funding is available.\u00a0Additional information\u00a0is available\u00a0at\u00a0https:\/\/belegendary.link\/HERG<\/a> .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
