The Western Maryland Consortium announced the Reemployment Grant is now available for companies in Washington, Allegany, and Garrett counties. The Reemployment Grant provides up to $25,000 to Western Maryland businesses to help reemploy workers most affected by the economic and employment fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. New hires must be unemployed residents of Western Maryland.
