โHang on just a little bit longerโ: Venue owners waiting for federal grants to trickle down to save their businesses
SAN ANTONIO โ Blayne Tucker, co-owner of The Mix, says the spirit of the Save Our Stages Act he helped draft, which then led to the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant, will help many business owners in need. โThe bill and the law was written and intended to benefit independent music venue operators. The U.S. Small Business Administration is set to begin taking in applications in February to distribute $15 billion in federal grants to bring relief to suffering business owners. AdBlayneโs next project is to ensure venue owners across Texas get informed about the grant and take advantage of it. He urges those with questions to join the National Independent Venue Association or the Texas Music Office.
