The State of South Dakota has extended the deadline to apply for small business grants for Covid relief. The deadline, originally set for Oct. 23, has been moved to Oct. 30.
Another change is the threshold in the definition of "reduction in business." Originally they had required at least a 25% reduction in business comparing March-April-May 2019 and March-April-May 2020. Now that eligibility requirement has been eased to 15%.
