But to keep their doors open, they will need access to the new restaurant revitalization fund, which is part of the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill. Restaurant owners who have survived, like Joe Frillman and Amanda Cohen, are desperate for the money from President Joe Biden’s stimulus package.

The Small News Administration hasn’t given an exact date on when the loans will be available, stating only that it could be this month.
