Dear Small Business Owner,

Congratulations! Your small business has been selected to receive the MEDC Restart Small Business
Grant. This grant is intended to help you recover lost revenue from the shut down due to COVID-19.

At Wayne County we strongly believe that small businesses are the backbone of our local economy,
and it is our priority to find relief and support for you during this time. This grant program serves as a
small portion of the wholistic approach to supporting businesses. Our team of business development
managers are available to support you through this time, and you can find your designated
representative, along with re-opening guides and other resources, on our special webpage created to
assist small businesses and workers to safely get back on the job: WayneCounty.com/BacktoWork.

You will receive additional details regarding your grant award amount, and payment details from our
team via e-mail.

We know these are unprecedented times and you may be unsure of what the future holds for your
business, but rest assured that my office is here to support and assist you so that we can get through
this together. We look forward to seeing your business thriving and continuing to grow in Wayne
County.

Sincerely,

Khalil Rahal
