| Dear Friend, With the vaccine distribution process now underway, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but many small businesses are still feeling the pressure of the pandemic. Thankfully, there's still time to apply for funding to help make ends meet. To give small business owners in our area a leg up on state and federal assistance programs, I've partnered with the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Office of Regional Economic Development at the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to host a webinar this Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. Panelists include Robert Steiner, District Director of the Illinois office of the SBA, who will provide information to small businesses about the federal Paycheck Protection Program and other available resources. State Senators Cristina Castro and Ann Gillespie are also co-hosts of the event. The webinar will be held via Cisco Webex. Register here. I hope to see you there! Sincerely, Laura M. Murphy State Senator | 28th District |
