Trade representatives mentioned the cash is useful however gained’t attain many who work in Pennsylvania’s 30,000 such companies. And for a few of those that do obtain it, the additional state help represents only a fraction of the monetary hit they’ve taken through the pandemic.

Susan Williams, who together with her sister owns a bar in Pittsburgh and one other simply exterior town, plans to use for the grants.

Her companies stay below restrictions that embody serving at 25% capability, no seating on the bar and 11 p.m. final calls. The bars are closed a part of the week to maintain from shedding cash, and there’s nothing left over to pay tax payments that arrived this week.
