Just to say that the restaurant business has been struggling would be an understatement, in my opinion, we have been talking about supporting local restaurants for a little over a year now.

Congressman Brian Higgins just recently announced that federal relief dollars are on the way to help struggling Western New York restaurants. The money will be coming from the American Rescue Plan s 28.6 billion Restaurants Revitalization Fund for restaurants hit hard by the pandemic. The workshop through the Small Business Development Centers in New York will be held on April 19 to guide local restaurants through the application process.

On Wednesday, March 10, the House passed the Senate-approved version of H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, on a 220-211 vote (title-by-title summary available here). No Republicans supported the bill, and one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), opposed the bill. Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR), who previously voted against the bill, voted to support the measure, which aims to accelerate activities to address the virus and provide additional economic support to individuals, state and local governments, and small businesses. The bill provides for a total of $1.88 trillion in federal investments.
