Businesses will be reviewed on a rolling basis and based on priority groups. During the application process you will be notified which priority group of the 32 you have been placed in. Within that group, you will be on a first come, first serve basis. However, the IDCEO has noted a full and complete application is more important as it will help prevent putting you back to the end of the line. Priority criteria includes:
- not having received emergency relief
- located in a disproportionately impacted area, of which Addison is considered to be
- less then $5 million in revenue
- priority industries (including hotels; restaurants that didn't receive RRF; art organizations; retail excluding e-commerce for clothing, electronics, or accessories; dry cleaners; home health care services; barbershop or salon; indoor recreation; childcare providers that did not receive CCRG; gym or fitness center; tourism or group transportation; spectator and social event support services; museum or movie theater operators that did not received SVOG)
