Worker, business relief programs for Key Bridge collapse start to wind down

State officials said Friday that they are winding down temporary worker and business assistance programs that were put in place in the wake of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. Applications will close on June 28 for the Maryland Department of Labor’s worker support program, which provides temporary relief to workers who lost income from reduced operations at the Port of Baltimore; the Maryland Department of Commerce’s business assistance program; and the Department of Housing and Community Development’s small-business grant program.
