Counties to help hospitality businesses
The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development has established a program to provide $145 million in aid to hospitality businesses adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 Hospitality Industry Recovery Program (CHIRP) will allocate the money to counties based on their populations.
Montgomery County plans to make the $9.4 million it will receive from CHIRP available to hospitality businesses through the MontcoStrong 2021 Pennsylvania Hospitality Industry Recovery Program, which will be administered by the Redevelopment Authority of Montgomery County. Chester County is slated to receive $5.9 million under CHIRP and will distribute the money through a grant program administered by the Chester County Economic Development Council, which is still finalizing the details of it. Delaware County anticipates receiving $6.4 million in CHIRP funds, according to Radnor Township
