Gov. JB Pritzker made stops in Bloomington and Urbana on Thursday to announce the first round of Business Interruption Grants for small businesses across the state.
Pritzker says the grants total 46 million dollars and are going to over 26 hundred businesses who have been hit hardest by the pandemic.
The governor says a second round of funds will be awarded. More information is available at DCEO.Illinois.gov.
