COVID In Philadelphia: City Launches $12 Million Grant Program To Help Restaurants, Gyms

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The City of Philadelphia has launched a $12 million grant program to help struggling restaurants and gyms during the coronavirus pandemic. The money will go to small businesses most adversely affected by the latest round of COVID-19 closures.

The grants could go as high as $15,000.

"The bottom line is that a lot of businesses, particularly these small businesses, have suffered dramatically as a result of the pandemic," Councilmember Darrell Clarke said. "We are in a very small way, we're going to be allotting around $12 million in small business support to kind of get them through this process until we can open up our economy."
