Fairfax Co. Creates Grant Program for Hospitality Businesses

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors created PIVOT, a new grant program with funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to support businesses in the hotel, food service, retail and services, and arts and culture industries.

The program will provide $25 million in grants from American Rescue Plan Act funding to help businesses in industries hardest-hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and help them continue their recovery by providing needed capital for ongoing operations and to sustain business sectors.

The grant portal will be open from June 23 through July 9.
