Business Info Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic

To our West St. Paul Businesses and Organizations,

We understand that many businesses and organizations have been greatly impacted by necessary actions of State and Federal governments, related to the spread of COVID-19. While certain sectors of our business community have been able to keep their doors open and continue to see a steady stream of customers and clients, the majority have had to adapt their business plans, reduce staffing, and make some difficult decisions. 

We want our entire business community to know that we appreciate the sacrifice they are making for the health of our community. 

Due to the impact on West St. Paul businesses, the City of West St. Paul has implemented the
WEST ST. PAUL PANDEMIC RESPONSE SMALL BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAM

In addition, Dakota County CDA has implemented the
DAKOTA COUNTY SMALL BUSINESS RELIEF GRANT PROGRAM
