Aid for Border Tourism Businesses: Forgivable Loans Program.
This act establishes a forgivable loan program for remote recreational businesses near the Canadian border that experienced significant revenue loss in 2020. It aims to support businesses affected by travel restrictions, especially those only accessible via Canada. This program offers financial relief that does not need to be repaid, helping these businesses sustain operations and employment.
Key points
Remote recreational businesses near the Canadian border with over 50% revenue loss in 2020 are eligible for forgivable loans.
Loans are for businesses whose access was restricted by the U.S.-Canadian border closure, particularly those only accessible via Canada.
The maximum loan amount is 75% of the business's 2019 gross annual receipts.
Loans will be 100% forgiven, minus any amounts received from other forgiveness programs like the CARES Act.
