Small Business Capital and Infrastructure Grant Program
Review Status
The application window for the Office of Economic Equity and Empowerment (OE3) Small Business Capital and Infrastructure Grant Program officially closed Monday, April 7, 2025 at 5:00 PM. The Department received an unprecedented number of submissions, and our team is now finalizing the merit review process. Due to the high volume of applications received, we anticipate that Applicants will be notified of their status, whether through a Notice of State Award (NOSA) or Notice of Declination, in early October 2025. Please note that this is an updated estimated timeline and may be subject to change.
