Delia with Nassau County Council of Chambers President Frank CamaranoThe Nassau County Legislature authorized the allocation of $600,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce (NCCC). Those resources will provide the NCCC and its member Chambers with technical assistance to ease the financial burdens that they experienced during the most severe stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Potential uses for the funding include business and financial software; website design; social media; search engine optimization; network needs; customer relationship management software; and more. Visit http://www.ncchambers.org for more information.

The NCCC grant program is just one of the many benefits that local businesses have received to date through Nassau County’s use of its $385 million federal ARPA funding allotment. Other initiatives that have been funded to support local small businesses include the Boost Nassau Main Street Recovery Grant program; low-interest loan opportunities; and other forms of financial assistance.
