Tennessee businesses that had been closed for weeks or months because of the shutdown could be seeing anywhere from $2,500 to $30,000 in help and for some that could save their shops.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee announced a new relief program for Tennessee businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Tennessee Business Relief Program will direct around $200 million in federal Coronavirus Relief Funds through the Department of Revenue directly to small businesses that qualify.
The types of small businesses that are eligible under the program are barber shops, beauty shops, nail salons, tattoo parlors, spas, and other personal care services, gyms and fitness centers, restaurants, bars, hotels and other travel accommodations, theaters, auditoriums, performing arts centers and similar facilities, museums, zoos, amusement parks, bowling centers and arcades, amusement, sports and recreational industries, promoters of performing arts, sports, and similar events, agents and managers of artists, athletes, and entertainers, and independent artists, writers, and performers.
