‘Smallest of the small’ encouraged to apply for COVID relief from federal Restaurant Revitalization Fund
SPRINGFIELD — The U.S. Small Business Administration started taking applications Monday for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, $28.6 billion in federal money available to eateries affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
“Restaurants and places of business, they have really had a tough run in the pandemic,” said U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield.
Neal, chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, cited the industry estimate that 100,000 restaurants across the county have closed during the pandemic and will not reopen. That’s one in six.
“We want to make sure that the hemorrhaging we have seen in that arena is not continued,” Neal said. “But what is important to remember here is that the government ordered them to close. Now government is stepping in to assist them in getting back on their feet.”
Neal hosted a news conference Monday with Robert H. Nelson, district director of the Small Business Administration’s Massachusetts office; Nancy Creed, president of the Springfield Regional Chamber; and Chris Russell, executive director of the Springfield Business Improvement District.
Restaurants are eligible for grants as small as $1,000 or as big as $5 million for a single location and $10 million for one operator with multiple locations.
The program is part of the $1.6 trillion American Rescue Plan. Information on applying is available at SBA.gov. The call center number is 844-279-8898. Spanish resources are also available.
Nelson said the focus is going to be on small business. Also, the Small Business Administration will only approve applications over the first 21 days from firms owned by women, veterans, those who meet certain income limits and owners who are Black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian-Pacific American or South Asian American.

Massachusetts updates mask advisory, activates National Guard to support strained hospitals
"There's no question the next few weeks will be enormously difficult for our health care community."
Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration is once again recommending that all individuals in Massachusetts — regardless of vaccination status — wear a face covering in indoor public spaces.
The state’s Department of Public Health announced the updated mask advisory Tuesday morning, as the omicron variant becomes the dominant strain of COVID-19 and a rising number of hospitalizations puts a strain on an understaffed health care system in the midst of the holiday season.
The advisory particularly urges individuals to wear a mask if they have a weakened immune system, face increased risk for severe disease from COVID-19 because of their age or an underlying medical condition, or live with someone who is high risk or unvaccinated.

Despite low snowfall totals across the state so far this winter, Massachusetts and other parts of Southern New England will see significant snowfall on Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
The winter storm watch previously issued on Wednesday afternoon was upgraded to a winter storm warning early Thursday morning. It applies to all of Rhode Island except Block Island and much of eastern Massachusetts, including Boston, and will be in effect from 1 a.m. through 4 p.m. on Friday.
Heavy snow is expected in those areas, the weather service said, with snow accumulation of 6 to 8 inches predicted, and up to 10 inches possible, particularly in southeastern Massachusetts. Snow is likely to begin falling between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Friday, according to area forecasters.
