“This is too important of a grant program to not offer small business owners in my district an overview of the program and to have their questions answered.  Small businesses are vital to our economic success and far too many are suffering during this pandemic.  I’m pleased that California is offering $500 million dollars in relief,” Commented Senator Portantino.
