The DCU Center is city-owned, and operated under a management contract with the firm ASM Global.
An application period is about to open for federal relief grants that will become available to live venue operators, theatrical producers, live performing arts organization operators, museum operators, movie theater operators, and talent representatives.
On Thursday, the U.S. Small Business Administration plans to begin taking applications under the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program. The federal agency has launched a portal in advance.
The national program was initially established with a $15 billion appropriation under the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits and Venues Act signed into law by President Trump on Dec. 27, 2020, and the American Rescue Act signed by President Biden on March 11 added $1.25 billion in funding.
To be eligible, a business must have been in operation as of Feb. 29, 2020. The New Bedford Economic Council on Tuesday morning circulated an email to bring attention to the program, including plans by the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center to host a workshop on Tuesday, April 20 at 10 a.m. to help answer questions about how to apply for SVOG and how the funds.
