New York City will donate $3 million dollars to assist “mom and pop” restaurants and small businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced during the city’s daily news conference.
The funds will be part of the city’s “Restaurant Revitalization Program” which will provide grants up to $30,000 to 100 selected restaurants.
The program will be funded by the mayor’s fund to Advance NYC and One Fair Wage, an organization that fights for fair wages.
Workers at the restaurants are eligible for a one-time $500 cash fund, NYC first lady Chirlane McCray said during the news conference.
