Qualifying businesses must have 10 full-time equivalent employees or fewer, a commercial storefront or physical location within the Lancaster city limits, have been open to the public as of March 17, 2020, and have been closed or unable to operate for more than one month. The program is available until December 31st, or until funds are depleted. Contact the City of Lancaster for more information.
