DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN)– Starting Tuesday, restaurants and businesses can apply to Ohio’s Food and Beverage Establishment Grant Program. This program designates $100-million to help revive the hospitality industry impacted by the pandemic.
The Ohio Restaurant Association is confident thousands of restaurants, businesses and even hotels are eligible for these funds.
“Montgomery will definitely oversubscribe for that much because there’s so many restaurants there,” said President & CEO Ohio Restaurant Association John Barker.
Over $100-million will be disbursed over Ohio’s 88 counties, each county will receive roughly $500,000 initially and then funds will be allocated to areas most in need. This past weekend, the state of Ohio stopped participating in the federal government’s supplemental benefits program. Barker says the extra funds to the jobless were crucial when the pandemic hit, but now it’s time to get back to work.
