(WJZ) — Anne Arundel County on Tuesday launched a micro grant program for businesses impacted by the tropical storm and tornado that hit the Annapolis area on Sept. 1, County Executive Steuart Pittman said. Priority for the money will be given to businesses affected by the tornado. Larry Hogan announced $4 million in relief funding and the U.S. Small Business Administration made available low-interest loans for impacted homeowners, businesses and nonprofits. Two confirmed tornadoes touched down in Annapolis and Edgewater as the remnants of Hurricane Ida passed through the region in early September. All applicants for the Anne Arundel County grant program must have a brick-and-mortar location in the county and provide a statement of damages, a budget for grant proceeds and a completed W-9 form.
