Reimbursement Grants Available to Businesses for Outdoor
Dining Tents and Heaters
A portion of CARES Act Funding has been allocated by the Leesburg Town
Council to provide reimbursement to participating businesses.
Leesburg, VA (November 3, 2020) – In response
to the mandated social distancing requirement
inside eating establishments, many Town
businesses have continued to offer outdoor
dining.
As a result, the Leesburg Town Council has
allocated a portion of the grant funding
provided to the Town through the federal CARES
Act to provide reimbursement for the purchase
or rental of tents and heaters during colder
weather.
Eligible businesses who incurred expenses between March 1 and December 30, 2020 may
receive a one-time grant of up to $5,000 for tents or $2,500 for portable heaters as long as the
purchase is related to social distancing needs.
Businesses who wish to participate must submit an online application to the Town by 5 p.m. on
Monday, November 30, 2020. Receipts must be provided and businesses must be in good
standing with the Town.
The online application can be found at www.leesburgva.gov/CARESGrants. For more
information, or for assistance with an application, email CARES@leesburgva.gov or call 703-
771-6676.
