Small businesses are getting some much-needed support. The Long Island Association Foundation and Optimum, the parent company of News 12, announced they will be awarding grants worth $5,000 each to 40 small businesses on Long Island. Fifty small businesses were awarded similar grants last year.

In addition, two small businesses will be awarded $25,000 grants, including one in Nassau and one in Suffolk.
