Section 691.60 Disproportionately

Impacted Areas

a) The Department will allocate

no less than 40% of program funding to Qualifying

Businesses located in Disproportionately Impacted Areas.

b) A

Disproportionately Impacted Area may be added or removed from prioritization

based on changes in relative COVID-19 rates and economic distress. If the

Department recategorizes an area, removing its designation as a

disproportionately impacted area, businesses that have applied prior to that

update will maintain the previous prioritization status.

c) In

determining prioritization of industries or zip codes within Disproportionately

Impacted Areas, the Department will give greater weight to areas that had

significantly higher rates of COVID-19 cases per capita and zip codes with higher

levels of poverty.

d) The

Department shall maintain records for a period of 5 years, from the date a

prioritized zip code or industry is selected, the assessment of how the

Department identified each Disproportionately Impacted Area.
