Schumer announced that ‘help is on the way’ as he detailed specifics from the American Rescue Plan he just led to passage in the U.S. Senate. Using Chesterfield’s Tavolo as a backdrop, Schumer explained that New York restaurants are now eligible for their own, DIRECT, federal pandemic relief, thanks to a provision he championed. The new restaurant relief fund, modeled on the widely supported, bipartisan RESTAURANTS Act, will provide a down-payment of $28.6 billion in flexible grants through the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a lifeline for New York’s restaurant industry, one of the hardest hit by the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.</p>\r\n<p>Schumer also detailed the American Rescue Plan’s tentative impact to New York as more than $100 Billion dollars. The deal includes the additional round of direct stimulus checks for over 100K Oneida County residents, on top of aid to help schools and colleges safely reopen, vaccine distribution, critical pension relief, an expanded Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, new rental assistance, agriculture and nutrition assistance, direct local fiscal relief to revive the local economy and help solve Mohawk Valley’s budget woes, a key fix to allow independent venues to access PPP and Save Our Stages grants, and more, all of which adds up to essential relief for countless families, workers, restaurants, more independent live venues and small businesses across the state.</p>"}}
