Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé (D - Freeport) visited Baldwin business owners recently to spread the word about the opportunities that are available through the Boost Nassau Resource Center. During her visits to local merchants, Legislator Mulé urged small business owners to secure their fair share of assistance by availing themselves of the Boost Nassau Resource Center, which compiles federal, state, county and town-level COVID-19 recovery assistance resources into a centralized website and brick-and-mortar resource center in Eisenhower Park.

 

To further supplement existing aid resources, the Legislature has unanimously approved County Executive Laura Curran’s proposal to apply tens of millions of American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds toward business recovery initiatives. This includes $10 million to fund the Boost Main Street Small Business grant program; an additional $10 million toward the Boost Nassau Small Business Loan Program; and $10 million for workforce development initiatives.
