These North Hills Restaurants Received COVID-19 Relief Money

NORTH HILLS, PA — A number of North Hills restaurants and bars received coronavirus-related financial relief from the federal Restaurant Revitalization Fund. The program, part of the American Rescue Plan, doled out $286 billion to more than 100,000 eateries, brewpubs, food trucks, food stands, caterers and other food-related businesses.

The SBA disabled access to the fund on Wednesday because it had run out of money.

Pennsylvania was among 19 states requesting more than $1 billion in fund grants but was not one of the five that topped that amount. However, the Keystone State came close, with $949.4 million shared among 3,530 businesses.
