It’s a ‘gut punch’ for those who hoped the Restaurant Revitalization Fund would get a second round of support, one lobbyist said.
Army veteran David Jordan was promised $86,000 in Restaurant Revitalization Fund money for his restaurant, Patriot Sandwich Company, but was never paid. Lobbyists tried to secure a second round of funding for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, but it was not added to Congress' $1.5 trillion omnibus spending package, which was passed by the House and Senate in early March 2022.
The Texas Restaurant Association reported in January 2022 that 12,055 Texas business owners were promised RRF grants and never received them. TRA CEO and president Emily Williams Knight says the lack of extra funding from Congress leaves thousands of Texas restaurateurs “waiting for help to pick up the pieces for themselves after two years of financial upheaval that still has no end in sight.”
Veteran David Jordan, who owns Patriot Sandwich Co. in Denton, was promised $86,000 in RRF funding from the Small Business Administration. That money was rescinded after anti-discrimination lawsuitsSean Kennedy, executive vice president of the National Restaurant Association, said in a statement that Congress’ choice to not re-fund the RRF “is a gut punch to the 177,000 restaurants who now have some incredibly difficult decisions ahead of them.”“I think it’s completely screwed up,” he says.
