The U.S. Small Business Administration has reopen the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant application portal tomorrow for operators of live venues, live performing arts organizations, museums and movie theatres, as well as live venue promoters, theatrical producers and talent representatives to apply for critical economic relief.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe recognize the urgency and need to get this program up and running,\u201d said Barb Carson, deputy associate administrator of SBA\u2019s Office of Disaster Assistance. \u201cWith venue operators in danger of closing, every day that passes by is a day that these businesses cannot afford. We remain dedicated to delivering emergency aid as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
While working with vendors to fix technology issues that occurred with the April 8 initial opening, the SBA identified and resolved other concerns and enhanced the applicant experience with the portal.<\/p>\n
SBA\u2019s collaboration with several live venue, cultural and related industry organizations has been vital to the agency\u2019s understanding of the user experience for potential SVOG applicants, and the SBA will continue to partner with them through the application and grant awarding processes, officials said.<\/p>\n
