Although the Small Business Administration (SBA) still has not announced when it will begin accepting applications for Restaurant Revitalization Grants and has not yet released a final version of the application, a draft version appears to have been published by the Office of Management and Budget. The draft application can be found at this link.
We cannot assess how similar the apparent draft application will be to the eventual final application, but given the importance of these grants to the food and beverage industry and statements indicating that the SBA believes the total grants applied-for will exceed the Congressionally apportioned funding, we wanted to circulate this development to our clients.
Review of this draft application, including the information requests in that draft, may help interested applicants to complete the final application more quickly, once it is available.
