Letter To The Editor: 'Berger-Girvalo Stands for Small Business'

"Berger-Girvalo Stands for Small Business"

Last night, Ms. Berger-Girvalo, the Democratic CT House Candidate, detailed her plan for small business recovery at the Small Business Forum. Key points included halting commercial evictions until rental subsidies are put into place, providing immediate rent subsidies, and creating a grant program for small businesses that are struggling and can demonstrate hardship.

We have all seen businesses opening and closing in downtown Ridgefield, which has been accentuated with the current pandemic. Supporting these businesses is paramount to keeping Ridgefield the thriving and inviting community that we love and care so much about.

I trust Ms. Berger-Girvalo will effectively and successfully fight for small businesses. With her background in corporate management in the restaurant and retail industry, she is well prepared for this work. Please vote for Ms. Berger-Girvalo and continue to do your part to support small businesses in our community.
