UNION CITY, CA — 22 Union City restaurants are among thousands in California that received money from the Small Business Administration's Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which was passed by Congress last year as part of a sweeping coronavirus relief package. The awards ranged from $10,000 to $1.5 million, with three restaurants receiving more than $1 million each.

In an email to applicants last month, the SBA said the program will stop taking applications on July 14. Nationally, the program has handed out grants to 105,000 restaurants, but another 265,000 applicants are still waiting. A bill to replenish the fund has been introduced in Congress, but it has not moved forward. Despite the restaurant industry lobbying for Congress to replenish the fund, lawmakers have been more focused on reaching a compromise on the Biden administration's infrastructure improvement bill. A petition asking Congress to backfill the Restaurant Revitalization Fund can be found online.
