Just got an important reminder from the Hospitality Business Association of Chicago. Today is the last day to apply for the second round of the State of Illinois Business Interruption Grants to offset losses during the various pandemic shutdowns this year.

The application overview is here:

The application specifically is:

And if you are curious the State’s list of approved grants, with amounts, was updated on Dec 10th here:

Federal CARES Act money funds this program and Illinois taverns and restaurants have a shot at some useful grant money if they can apply.

HBAC informs me the application takes 40-60 minutes, so start now if you plan on meeting the 5 p.m. deadline.
