Layton City currently has funds available to help prevent and respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Funds are offered to small businesses through Layton City’s Small Business Financial Assistance Grant. This assistance is intended for use by Layton City businesses impacted by the Coronavirus. The funds may be used by employers to offset wages for qualifying employees.
