The State of Oklahoma is launching the <span style="color:#050505;background:white">
Oklahoma Business Relief Program (OBRP), which was developed to help local businesses overcome the economic challenges of COVID-19. OBRP offers vital funding for businesses that have suffered revenue loss due to the pandemic. It is similar to the PPP program,
and the maximum grant is $25,000. On Wednesday, </span>Sean Kouplen, Secretary of Commerce and Workforce Development,<span style="color:#333333"> is discussing the program during the weekly calls. Jeremy Zeller is part of the OBRP team, and will be on the
Friday MS Director’s zoom call to discuss it more and answer questions. Attached is an information sheet, and below are links to the website and the Wednesday zoom call information. Please share with your merchants.
