Following rallying by music advocates, city music offices say they're on track to begin rolling out venue relief by the new year. Although applications haven't opened for grants totaling $10 million under the
SAVES Resolution, Music & Entertainment Division Manager
Erica Shamaly said Monday at the
Music Commission meeting that their staff is connecting with third parties to deliver the first round of
Live Music Venue Preservation funds.
"We should be making an announcement in the next few days," she said. "[We] will try to get out emergency aid as fast as we possibly can. We're shooting for before the end of the year."
