With the CARES Act extended, we are having an emergency meeting of the EDC to figure out how we can best spend the money to directly assist local businesses. Our city was slow to act last year, telling us CARES dollars couldn’t be spent on anything for businesses, only for the city itself. After our main street director worked hard to correct them on this, we want to figure out more ways to use them. We initially bought tents and heaters for our restaurants. Looking to help more than just the restaurants. The city is more likely to go forward with our recommendations if we have specific examples of what other cities have done. So I’m just looking for what other cities have done to help convince our city that money can be used that way. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shannen<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A Sight for Sport Eyes<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1553 11<sup>th</sup> St.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>West Linn, OR 97068<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>503-699-4160<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>888-223-2669<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Fax: 888-240-6551<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>www.sporteyes.com<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
