Local restaurant owners like Eddie Sahm, COO of Sahm's Hospitality Group, are urging senators to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) citing many never received help in the first round of assistance.
That’s why some local restaurants hope the Senate will vote to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund this week. That fund rescued many businesses as they were able to open back up in 2021.“It’s not a guess, you will see thousands of restaurants close across the United States,” Eddie Sahm the COO of Sahms Hospitality Group said. “It’s not going to be Olive Garden. It’s going to be the mom-and-pop shops that have been here for 20 years in the community.
"This is help that we need if you want to see places stay open and continue operating,” Sahm said. “You are going see the story of closures coming really fast and they are not going to be the places you didn't go to. They are going to be the places you've heard about, that you relied on, you told your friends about and that made living in Indianapolis a better place to live."
There is currently a disagreement on Capitol Hill about how to move forward. Democrats feel this is emergency funding, but Republicans don't want to allocate new dollars. Instead, they'd rather use offset dollars from other Covid-19 funding.
