WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. State grant money totaling $145 million is on its way to help bars, restaurants, and hotels.
The Hospitality Relief Program focuses on helping smaller businesses with fewer than 300 employees.
It s an industry especially hard hit in Williamsport.
The Little League World Series would normally bring in tons of tourism dollars to Billtown, but not in a pandemic.
Gloria and Liz Miele, owners of the Peter Herdic Inn and Dining House, said this money could not come at a better time.
