Hospitality businesses were among the first hit hard by the economic impact of the #COVID19 pandemic.

I& #39;m so proud that @IllinoisDCEO has awarded $14 million in small grants to over 700 small bars, restaurants and hotels across Illinois to keep their operations up and running.

More than 450 small bars and restaurants received an average grant of roughly $14,000 while more than 250 small hotels received an average grant of $30,000.

This is a lifeline to keep our businesses afloat.
