EASTON — Easton Mayor Robert Willey distributed American Rescue Plan Act checks to downtown business owners and other local organizations Monday evening
Thirty local businesses, nonprofits and other groups received checks as part of the $1.9 trillion federal COVID relief program. The town of Easton was granted over $16 million from the federal pandemic spending package. Just over $8 million was distributed in August; the remaining funds are expected to arrive in August 2022.
Funds received will help local businesses and other groups with payroll, equipment, material and cleaning costs as well as employee retention efforts, rents and mortgage payments and utility bills. The federal money is the latest U.S. stimulus effort to help businesses, nonprofits and state and local governments with the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
