We talked a lot about advocating for the Main Street Revitalization Grant with our state legislators. How would you all feel about advocating your legislators to return for a special session to implement some commercial relief strategies? It sounds like

<div class="" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
<ol class="">
<li class="">Commercial eviction freeze extension.</li><li class="">To-go cocktail approval.</li><li class="">Financial relief for restaurants (at a minimum. Businesses of all types could use it though).
<ol class="" style="list-style:lower-alpha">
<li class="">I'd want to see some equitable unrolling of financial relief though. Organizations like ours can help people apply if there is enough time in the process. First-come, first-serve hasn't worked well here.</li></ol>
