Thank you U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, pictured above with Mayor Mike Spano and Council President Mike Khader, for visiting Yonkers last week to unveil your latest legislation, the Restart Act, which would assist local small businesses that have been negatively impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We support your efforts to get #YonkersBack2B. This bill extends the Paycheck Protection Program, established to support small businesses in response to COVID-19 for certain businesses, and it establishes a loan program whereby the Small Business Administration (SBA) shall guarantee loan amounts to certain businesses affected by COVID-19.
