Upcoming aid package for small business
The Senate is expected to vote next week on a small-business aid package to help restaurants and bars, buses and ferries, gyms, minor league teams, live event support companies, and border-region businesses that saw big revenue losses during the pandemic. The legislation will provide funding for small restaurants that applied for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund last year and were not able to secure a grant before the program ran out of funds. Small Business Majority is urging Congress to pass this legislation, and to preserve funding for other critical small business programs.
