Restaurant Revitalization Fund - Next Steps
The Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF), which provides federal grants to the hardest hit sector of the economy during COVID-19, is becoming a reality. This week, President Biden is expected to sign the RRF into law as a part of the American Rescue Plan. The RRF features $28.6 billion for restaurants with 20 or fewer locations, and will be administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Join the National Restaurant Association for a webinar on Monday, March 15th where they will share:
- What type of RRF grant funds will be available
- Recommended next steps for restaurants interested in RRF

Christian Heimall Promoted To General Manager
Assistant General Manager Christian Heimall has been promoted to the position of General Manager for the High Point Rockers. Heimall, who is the longest tenured member of the team's front office, will be entering his third year with the Rockers in 2021. He has led the promotional and marketing efforts for the club, including developing theme nights and giveaways. As a result, the Rockers earned multiple awards in 2019 including best Family Entertainment in the Triad from the High Point Enterprise and Best Sports Team in the Triad from Yes!Weekly. While many of his daily duties will remain the same, Heimall will also take on a larger role with regards to community outreach, including the development and execution of all fundraising initiatives, as well as the growth of the Rockers youth baseball program, started in 2020 in conjunction with Meet-A-Prospect.
