Yes, it is hard to keep up with the continual changes with funding opportunities. I hope each of you are doing as well as can be expected and if there is anything the Chamber can do, let me know at
juli@sausalito.org.
As the new funding becomes available my suggestion is if you have not heard from SBA (EIDL) loan or your bank for the PPP apply again! I know it seems crazy but if you filed your SBA (EIDL) loan after 4/3 from everything I have read it suggests you re-apply.
At this point, better to be safe than sorry. I do know businesses that have applied to several different banks for their PPP and were able to get one approved.
TIME FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
- We are working on a survey that will be going out this week. The survey will assist us in planning the next several months. Be sure to take part in the survey, so both the City and Chamber know how we can help and your thoughts and ideas for Sausalito going forward.
Please be forthright in your answers so we can all work together to come out of this as strong as we can.
Included in this newsletter are some grants and programs available other than SBA & PPP for you to consider.
STAY SAFE

CEO
