ORLANDO, Fla. – A day after the new round of COVID-19 relief funding was signed by President Donald Trump, small business owners in Central Florida are getting ready to start the process of applying for help.
Brigette Rierson, the owner of Bijou’s Boutique in Orlando’s College Park, said she hopes it’s not as complicated as the first time she applied.
“It was very difficult. A lot of paperwork was needed,” Rierson recalled. “It took quite a few weeks before we got anything so I was closed March and April, kept on paying my people all along with no income.”
