MPORTANT COVID-19 INFORMATION

The Village of Cassopolis’s first priority is the safety and security of our community.  As we monitor the ongoing developments and safety information related to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we will continue following guidelines from public health authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Cass/Van Buren Health Department, and the Governor’s Office as well as our own operation preparedness plan to ensure services while working to protect the well-being of our residents and colleagues.  We will continue to closely monitor the situation in the days ahead and evaluate the need for additional measures to support our community as those needs arise.

The Village Hall will remain closed to the public with some personnel working limited hours as needed to perform essential tasks.  Police services continue as usual.

If you have questions or wish to communicate information, you may phone Village Hall at 269-445-8648 or via email at manager@cassopolis-mi.us as staff will be checking messages daily.  You may also use postage mail or the drop box behind Village Hall as both will be continued to be collected and checked Monday thru Friday.

SBA Loan Assistance:
On March 6th, congress passed the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020 making $1 billion available to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide low-interest loans to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, and nonprofits that have suffered substantial economic losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Governor Whitmer notified the SBA that she is seeking an Economic Injury Disaster Loan Declaration for the state and has initiated the process to receive the declaration from SBA. Once granted, small businesses in qualifying areas will be able to access low-interest loans through the SBA

For additional information or to obtain help preparing the loan application in advance of the declaration, please contact the Michigan SBA offices in Detroit or Grand Rapids. https://www.sba.gov/offices/district/mi/detroit  The Michigan Small Business Development Center can also provide resources for small businesses impacted by COVID-19.
