Yamhill County Supply Chain Localization Grant Program

Through the COVID-19 pandemic, the term "supply chain shortage" has been commonly used to describe disruptions in the receipt of consumer goods but has long been a term used within industry to describe a network of material suppliers.
As global supply chains became challenged, we saw that local manufacturers and producers were struggling to procure materials needed to make their own finished goods. The intended impact of this grant program is to support the development of innovative projects that address supply chain shortages for businesses within our region.
