Gov. Northam proposes to invest $353M of American Rescue Plan funding in small business recovery

Back in May, the governor and General Assembly leaders shared their priorities for the American Rescue Plan. Virginia is expected to receive $4.3 billion in federal funds after President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. 

“Virginia is roaring back stronger than we could have imagined one year ago, but small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and they need additional support to get back on their feet,” Governor Northam said.
