Aid On The Way

An aid package is coming soon for small businesses and people struggling to pay rent during the coronavirus pandemic in Ohio. Lawmakers and Gov., DeWine are figuring out the best way to provide the money…from federal pandemic relief fund…as quickly as possible. Insiders say they are jointly working on a plan that would also provide assistance for companies experiencing difficulty making mortgage payments. The aid comes as unemployment claims have ticked upward in recent days…after weeks of declines from their record highs at the start of the pandemic. The Ohio Health Department has reported more than 155,000 confirmed and probable coronavirus cases, including 1,327 new cases on Thursday.
