Reviving the Entertainment Industry (American Rescue Plan Act, Part 2)
Music venues, movie theaters, and museums may be eligible for a new federal grant program, which is available in addition to the Paycheck Protection Program created by Congress last year. The new $1.25-billion grant is part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, created to help businesses struggling under COVID-19 restrictions, with funds available through Dec. 31, 2021. Whether an applicant is eligible for the grant depends on the type and operation of their venue, as well as other financial requirements and proof of documentation.
