Establishes the "save our small-business grant program" to aid certain small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic
This bill (A 4101) creates New York's "Save Our Small-Business Grant Program" to provide financial aid to small businesses in the state that suffered pandemic-related hardships. It requires businesses to demonstrate qualifying hardship (like revenue loss) through an application process managed by the Division for Small Business and regional economic development councils. Grants are capped at $50,000 per business, funded by the regional councils, and will stop accepting new applications once the state's economy returns to pre-pandemic levels. The program expires upon the director of the budget's notification of this economic recovery.
