Last day for bars and restaurants (and others) to apply for round-2 Illinois Business Interruption Grants h/t to the Hospitality Business Association of Chicago (links included)

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.

Ashley Brandt

Hi there! I’m happy you’re here. My name is Ashley Brandt and I’m an attorney in Chicago representing clients in the Food and Beverage, Advertising, Media, and Real Estate industries. A while back I kept getting calls and questions from industry professionals and attorneys looking for advice and information on a fun and unique area of law that I’m lucky enough to practice in. These calls represented a serious lack of, and need for, some answers, news, and information on the legal aspects of marketing and media. I've got this deep seeded belief that information should be readily available and that the greatest benefit from the information age is open access to knowledge... so ... this blog seemed like the best way to accomplish that. I enjoy being an attorney and it’s given me some amazing opportunities, wonderful experiences, and an appreciation and love for this work. I live in Chicago and work at an exceptional law firm, Goldstein & McClintock, with some truly brilliant people. Feel free to contact me at any time with any issues, comments, concerns… frankly, after reading this far, I hope you take the time to at least let me know what you think about the blog and how I can make it a better resource.
