Business Emergency Gap Assistance Program (BEGAP)
Following July’s devastating floods, we once again find ourselves facing the immense challenge of rebuilding in communities across our state. With over 300 businesses reporting damage to 211, the Emergency Board has approved $7 million for rapid relief via the Business Emergency Gap Assistance Program (BEGAP).
The BEGAP portal will reopen soon, and applications will be considered on a rolling basis until all funds are expended. An additional $5 million is also available for ongoing recovery from the 2023 floods. We will be reaching out separately about those supplemental funds.
Please check back regularly for details on the reopening: https://accd.vermont.gov/flood
