The funds, which were made available by the State of Maryland, are restricted to COVID-related expenses of qualifying grantees. Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC) will administer the grants.

“Small businesses are the backbone of a healthy Baltimore economy and our road to recovery must run through them. But further support is required to navigate the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic,” said Mayor Brandon M.
