Connecticut Restaurants Can Apply for Relief, Distribution of $5,000 Grants Written by CT Restaurant Relief
CT Restaurant Relief Fund Launches, Application Deadline is Feb. 5
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed an incredible burden on the Connecticut restaurant industry. Connecticut was home to 8,000+ restaurants and employed over 160,000 people before the mandated closure on March 16, 2020. This resulted in thousands of layoffs, and ultimately over 600 restaurants closing their doors in Connecticut. We continue to see closures every week.
CT restaurant owners and operators need immediate financial relief in order to stay in business, aid their employees, and survive the impact of this crisis. The mission of the CT Restaurant Relief Fund is to provide immediate financial relief to Connecticut’s restaurant industry with funds designed to save these businesses and protect its workforce.
