FUNDING INFORMATION
Awarded grant funding shall not exceed $500 or the current cost of the City of Farmington issued utility
bill. If accepted, the grant funds will be directly transferred to the specified business utility account
within the City of Farmington. Any additional outstanding utility charges outside of the one-time direct
assistance grant will still be the responsibility of the business to pay (e.g. a utility bill of $650 with a one-
time grant of $500 means the business will still owe the remaining $150 of their utility bill).
