COVID-19 Resources *Updated 4/29/20

Hello FARIBAULT,
As you have probably heard Minnesota is taking a shelter in place measure in order to prevent as much further spread of the COVID-19 virus as possible. The attached graphic is not all inclusive but will give you a general idea follow the link for more information and as always feel free to contact us with questions, (contact information below.) We will help you navigate the information so you can make an informed decision follow this link for our evolving list of resources. I want to also share that there are criteria still being determined and interpreted about the loan and business assistance programs. We will continue to provide the most up-to-date links and information from the sources that make those decisions.
Stay healthy and safe. Your Chamber is doing our best to make sure we are positioned for the best rebound possible from this challenging time.
