MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) - During the pandemic, thousands of restaurants in the United States closed and millions lost their jobs.
To help, the Biden administration introduced the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. It is a $28.6 billion relief package that is designed to help restaurants who have been struggling financially.
Applications started being accepted on Monday. Restaurants and bars can qualify for grants equal to their losses, with a cap of $10 million per business.
