Governor JB Pritzker is announcing a new round of back to business grants for small businesses in Illinois and four Centralia businesses are included.

The latest round is more than $111-million says the Governor, funding over 2900 grants to businesses still recovering from the pandemic.

“To help small businesses to rehire staff, cover operating costs, an afford additional customer safety precautions.  These are not loans, so businesses getting this money won’t owe a cent back to the State.”

Centralia businesses receiving grants include Hollywood Hair in Centralia for $40,000, Tony’s Welding Service for $25,000, and Bill’s Tax Service and MJ’s Kingdom Catering for $5,000 apiece.

The deadline to apply for Back To Business grants will continue to go out to previous applicants until funds are exhausted.
