Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Dean Phillips (D-MN), who crafted the Restaurant Revitalization Fund legislation, have a new federal proposal to aid struggling restaurateurs.
On Thursday, the congressmen introduced the Restaurant Revitalization Tax Credit to help the roughly 200,000 operators who applied for RRF grants but didn’t receive funding.
“By severely underinvesting in RRF, Congress inadvertently created an unfair lottery of winners and losers. We must extend America’s promise of opportunity to all who are eligible before it’s too late,” Phillips said in a statement emailed to Restaurant Dive.
