New Grants For Shuttered Venues And PPP Money Available - Webinars On How To Apply Are This Week
/UPDATE: The Replay of this has been posted, and can be viewed HERE.
The Dutchess Business Notification Network sent out an alert today (Wednesday) to a webinar happening tomorrow (Thursday) for venues who shuttered because of the pandemic, to possibly receive grant money. Details about how the grant works are sparse, and if it is anything like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which started off as a “forgivable” loan, could change over time. Businesses currently need to apply to be forgiven the PPP loan that was granted to them, and details on how to apply and who can apply and when to apply for PPP loan forgiveness have been shifting. Reports are coming out that indicate small businesses have started to be forgiven the loan if they meet the criteria.
