Representative Adriano Espaillat Votes to Secure Additional Relief Funding for New York’s Restaurants and Small Businesses. WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) voted to secure urgently needed relief for small businesses across New York. The Relief for Restaurants & Other Hard Hit Small Businesses Act will deliver $55 billion to replenish funding for New York restaurants. Additional funds will help establish a new program supporting other small businesses impacted by the pandemic.
“Small businesses are the lifeblood of New York’s economy and are helping power our historic recovery,” said Rep. Espaillat. “In our American Rescue Plan, Democrats created the Restaurant Revitalization Fund: a lifeline for nearly 28,000 New York businesses to help them reopen, recover and rehire. I have met regularly with impacted restaurant owners and workers in my district and know first-hand the challenges the pandemic created for them on a daily basis. Today, I proudly voted for legislation that will provide additional relief and enable restaurants that weren’t able to take advantage of this program the first time to access essential relief in the wake of the omicron wave. This bill will establish a new program to support New York’s hardest-hit small businesses – delivering assistance to businesses that have suffered revenue losses of at least 40 percent during the pandemic. Democrats remain laser-focused on Building a Better America, and I will continue fighting to help entrepreneurs keep New Yorkers on payroll and continue serving our communities.” To Read More, Link To: https://newyorkcityinsider.blogspot.com/2022/04/new-york-city-insider-espaillat-votes.html |
