Lawmakers examining how the state is responding to the pandemic are giving mixed reviews.
Cara Bader, chief of staff of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, runs down some of the numbers of the Business Interruption Grant (BIG) program for a Senate committee:
“Forty percent of awards went to businesses owned by people of color, and more than eighty percent of awards went to the very smallest of businesses: those with revenues of less than $1 million a year. Owing to both unique impacts and prolonged effects of the pandemic, nearly half of the grant awards – or $133 million -were provided to restaurants and taverns alone.”
