Mayoral candidate and current city comptroller, Scott Stringer, unveiled a plan on Monday that would aid economic recovery in the five boroughs by pumping stimulus funding into support for small businesses.
In front of Settepani Restaurant at Lenox and 120th Street, said that while jobs have recovered slightly from the lowest point in the pandemic from nearly a million unemployed to the more current figure of about 625,000, Stringer plans to put just $1 billion into a program that provides grants of up to $100,000 to small businesses.
