City council approves CARES Act funds for Unalaska businesses January 7th |
A number of Unalaska bars and restaurants are being granted $30,000 each in Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funds.
The City Council voted unanimously on Dec. 22 to provide the relief to help bars and restaurants that were forced to close to in-person services last month.
Nine restaurants and bars were granted the emergency funds, for a total of $270,000.
That leaves the city with about $255,000 left in coronavirus relief funds, according to interim Finance Director Jim Sharpe. The deadline to spend those funds has been extended to Dec. 31, 2021.
