Falls Church News-Press Celebrates 30th Anniversary By Supporting Chamber Members
The Falls Church News-Press, a long-time supporter of the Falls Church Chamber of Commerce, is celebrating its 30th Anniversary by supporting Falls Church Chamber members as they struggle to stay in business during the pandemic. The News-Press will donate one free one-eighth page advertisement to new and renewing Chamber members through 2021. The Falls Church News-Press was founded by Nicholas F. Benton with support by the Chamber to provide a vehicle for local businesses to advertise to the Falls Church community. The paper has been printed and distributed to every household in the 22046 area code and to local businesses every week since it was established in 1991. For more information about the paper or chamber, visit www.fcnp.com and www.FallsChurchChamber.org. For information about the new Chamber member benefit, email Sally@FallsChurchChamber.org.
The White House has announced several reforms to help get Payroll Protection Program funding to the smallest businesses and those that have been left behind in previous relief efforts. The reforms include a 14-day period, starting February 24, during which only businesses with fewer than 20 employees can apply for relief through the Program to allow lenders to focus on these smallest businesses. Reforms are also directed to help sole proprietors, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals receive more financial support, eliminate an exclusionary restriction that prevents small business owners with prior non-fraud felony convictions from obtaining relief, eliminate an exclusionary restriction that prevents small business owners who are delinquent on their federal student loans from obtaining relief, and ensure access for non-citizen small business owners who are lawful US residents by clarifying that they may use Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers to apply for relief. For more information about these reforms and the administration’s steps to ensure equitable distribution of relief, visit www. whitehouse.gov.
