Congratulations to Chamber Board Member Scott McCrea

Explore Fairbanks Board of Directors Chair Buzzy Chiu announced on Thursday that Scott McCrea, director of tourism and convention sales for the organization, was selected by the board to be the next president and CEO beginning June 1, 2021. McCrea succeeds Deb Hickok who served as CEO since 1999.

“Scott’s success as director of tourism and convention sales and the local, statewide, national and international relationships he has developed have been impressive and will serve us well as he takes on the CEO position,” said Chiu. “His passion and enthusiasm for tourism and visitors to Fairbanks and the Interior is contagious. We could not ask for a better person to continue to move Explore Fairbanks from the throes of the pandemic back to a brighter more robust future.”

$28.6 Billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund

Applications Open Now

SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman announced the U.S. Small Business Administration will begin registrations on Friday, April 30, 2021, at 9 a.m. EDT and open applications on Monday, May 3, 2021, at noon EDT for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. The online application will remain open to any eligible establishment until all funds are exhausted.

“Restaurants are the core of our neighborhoods and propel economic activity on main streets across the nation. They are among the businesses that have been hardest hit and need support to survive this pandemic. We want restaurants to know that help is here,” said Administrator Guzman. “The SBA has focused on the marketplace realities of our food and beverage businesses in designing the Restaurant Revitalization Fund to meet businesses where they are. And we are committed to equity to ensure our smaller and underserved businesses, which have suffered the most, can access this critical relief, recover, and grow more resilient.”
