Nassau County is launching the Nassau County Restaurant Recovery Program for full-service restaurants and banquet halls with catering staff located within the County that experienced reductions in sales and/or revenue due to COVID-19 and that are in need of financial assistance to continue to operate or to be able to reopen as allowed by law during the crisis.
Up to a $10,000 grant per business will be awarded for eligible businesses that have experienced a gross revenue loss of greater than 25% due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Qualified businesses with 0-10 full-time or full-time equivalent employees may receive $5,000 for eligible reimbursable expenses, while businesses with 11-50 full-time or full-time equivalent employees may receive up to $10,000 for eligible reimbursable expenses. Per Internal Revenue Service guidance, these grants are taxable.
