Himes On CARES Act

In March, Congress passed the CARES Act into law, taking important steps to help small businesses, keep employees on the payroll, and provide direct support for Americans with immediate financial relief. However, programs created by the CARES Act, like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Emergency Economic Injury Grants, quickly ran out of funding. That’s why I drove down to D.C. last week to vote on the 4th Coronavirus Emergency Response bill. I was proud to pass further economic stimulus relief, providing more funding to our small businesses and nonprofits as well as much-needed funding for hospitals.  The bill takes a key step toward recovery, requiring a nationwide strategy for expanding testing procedures.

Look Who’s DoingItLocal!

Say hello to Chrissy Miconi Gelsi from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices located at 504 Bridgeport Avenue in Shelton. We met to discuss her advertising on DoingItLocal. We discussed how economical it really is to live in Shelton.

She wants to reach out to the community and she knows DoingItLocal can connect her with the…
