SBA will begin sending invitations for supplemental awards for the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program.

SVOG supplemental awards are to be provided to those who received an initial grant and have illustrated a 70% loss when comparing 2021’s first-quarter revenues to the same in 2019.

Supplemental award applicants can choose to apply for any amount up to 50% of their original SVOG amount, with a $10 million cap of the initial and supplemental awards combined, according to the law. The supplemental awards also allow SVOG recipients to extend the time to use their grant funds for expenses accrued through June 30, 2022 and lengthen their budget period to 18 months from the initial grant’s disbursement date.

Earlier this year Connecticut promulgated significant changes to the Remediation Standard Regulations. These regulations pertain to the remediation of polluted environmental media including soil, groundwater, and soil vapor throughout Connecticut. The changes were intended to fix, improve, and incorporate input from the entire regulated community, lawyers, property owners, and consultants. During this webinar viewers will learn the important highlights of the regulatory changes that could affect the cost, schedule, and alternatives for establishing compliance. The presenters will provide: a brief background and applicability review of the RSRs (they have very broad applicability in Connecticut); an overview of the significant changes and additional flexibilities offered in the new regulations; and an explanation of how the new Activity Use Limitations and annual inspections work. Hurry now to register for this free webinar.
