BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 The town of Breckenridge has expanded its Small Business Rent Relief Program,<\/a> which launched at the end of March to help businesses stay afloat amid the COVID-19 shutdown.<\/p>\n

The grant eligibility requirements now include larger businesses as well as business owners who own their buildings, allowing the money to be used for mortgage assistance when it previously was reserved for rent payments. <\/p>\n

The updated criteria prevents businesses that have applied for the federal Payroll Protection Program from applying for the Breckenridge Rent Relief Program because rent and mortgage relief is already included with the federal program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business loan program is sailing along really well right now,\u201d Mayor Eric Mamula said in his Facebook video update<\/a><\/i>. \u201cWe\u2019re opening up to some mortgages instead of just rent, and we\u2019re opening up to some larger businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n
