Board of Douglas County Commissioners’ resolution expresses appreciation for critical partnership.
During the past year, distribution of Douglas County’s share of the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and Colorado Senate Bill 20B-001 funds provided support and relief to local small businesses.
An established partnership and relationship with Arapahoe/Douglas Works! (A/D Works!) allowed the County to leverage their unique resources as part of a coordinated COVID-19 response — providing a lifeline to our small businesses during the pandemic.
At their Tuesday, April 27, 2021, Business Meeting, the Board of Douglas County Commissioners passed a “Resolution Recognizing A/D Works! for Supporting Douglas County Small Businesses” in appreciation of this critical partnership.
More than $20 million was provided to Douglas County businesses thanks to the assistance of A/D Works! in processing and administering more than 700 grant applications for three business grant programs – Small Business PPE Reimbursement, Restaurant and Event Venue Impact Grant, and Small Business Relief Grant.
Additionally, the A/D Works! team organized and managed the Douglas County Recovery Task Force to act as a resource hub for the County’s Chambers of Commerce and other business support organizations.
As Douglas County’s workforce center, A/D Works! provides a variety of no-cost services to job seekers and businesses and serves as a critical resource to connect people and businesses in Douglas County.
