COVID-19 Business Task Force

The County formed the Nevada County COVID-19 Business Task Force last spring to support our local businesses. At these meetings, County staff, in partnership with the Sierra Business Council, provide the latest updates on public health guidelines as well as vital information about available local, state, and federal resources such as grant and loan programs.

Small businesses are the heart of Nevada County and we will emerge from this crisis stronger together.
