This is a great article that talks about many programs that are available through Valley Partners to help businesses in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. We recommend that you read it at The Business Journal Daily.
Valley Partners (renamed from Mahoning Valley Economic Development Corp.) was founded as a driver of the local economy in 1978, a year after Black Monday and the beginning of the end of the steel industry.

 
The state of Ohio has created a $37.5 million fund to help bars and restaurants that have been hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic, called the Bar and Restaurant Assistance Fund.

 
If your business has been affected by the pandemic, be sure to apply!  If your business qualifies, you can apply for this new grant program even if you also applied for/received the Mahoning County Small Business Relief Grant. This is a different grant.
The application process opens November 2 at businesshelp.ohio.gov.
Grants will provide $10,000 to small businesses in Ohio with no more than 25 employees.
