$200,000 for Barber County Businesses
Has your business been affected by COVID-19? Do you employ low-to-moderate income employees? The Community Development Block Grant Special Coronavirus stimulus funding, known as CDBG-CV, might be for you.
The City of Medicine Lodge and the Barber County Commissioners were awarded $100,000 to provide local business grants. If your firm is in the city limits of Medicine Lodge, you must apply through the City Office. All other businesses in Barber County will apply through the County Clerk’s Office in the Courthouse.
Grant applications are available on the websites for Barber County (www.barber.ks.gov) and Medicine Lodge (www.medicinelodge.kansas.gov). Paper copies are also available at each office.

The deadline for the first round of funding is December 4. If funds remain after initial applications are reviewed, a second round of funding will be offered.
Ranson Financial is working with both governments to administer these funds. Once your application is submitted, you will be contacted with the next steps that the CDBG-CV requires.
Grants will reimburse prior expenditures and may not be used to cover lost revenue or future costs. Businesses may seek reimbursement for rent or mortgage payments, utilities, insurance, cleaning supplies, payroll, and inventory to reopen. Receipts are required to verify qualified expenses. If you have received previous funding, you will have to share what that covered for your business.
For small businesses, 1-5 employees, the max grant is $10,000. For companies with 6-50 employees, the maximum is $15,000. Businesses can be home-based, farms with an LLC, or sole proprietorships. The goal of this funding is to retain jobs for low-to-moderate income employees.
After the initial application, you will work with the grant administrators to prove that 51% of your employees fit this requirement. If you are the only employee, it would then apply to your families’ income. Understandably, this is sensitive information, but it will be kept secure and only used to complete the grant requirements.
Please reach out to Jeff Porter at jeffp@medicinelodge.ks.gov or 886-3908 for the City of Medicine Lodge if you would like more information.
