Money Coming To Small Businesses Hit By Storm in Buffalo

It was approved! Money could be coming to business owners and plowers in Western New York! The White House announced that President Biden is approved the emergency aid to Buffalo, New York. After another historic snowfall in Buffalo, New York, federal help is coming as of Monday morning. There was 80" of snow in some parts of Western New York and some are still under a State of Emergency.

Biden approved financial aid and help to come. This means more plows, more manpower, and more money. Hopefully, money to go to small business owners that were affected, per the Governor's request. 

What does this mean for people in Western New York? Will you be getting money? Will your business be getting money?

Here was Governor Hochul's request:

The Governor is submitting a request to President Biden for a federal Emergency Declaration for Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Jefferson, Lewis, Niagara, Oneida, Oswego, St. Lawrence, and Wyoming Counties. Once approved, the Emergency Declaration will provide immediate federal funding to impacted counties to support ongoing response and rescue operations. Governor Hochul will also ask the federal Small Business Administration to evaluate how it can help small businesses impacted by the storm in the 11 counties and contiguous counties.
