Coronavirus: Ohio extends deadline for bar and restaurant grants

To apply for the program, businesses need their liquor permit number and federal tax ID. Applications are online at businesshelp.ohio.gov.

The grants are part of a larger CARES Act spending package announced in late October, which allocated millions of dollars each to funds benefiting groups like arts organizations, nonprofits, colleges and universities, rural and critical access hospitals, agencies offering rent and utility assistance and small businesses.

The bar and restaurant assistance program was allocated $37.5 million.
