ACMA Members,
I hope you’re having a good Tuesday. Today, I’ll be briefer than usual.
I want to remind you that the Paycheck Protection Program has reopened for new applicants. If your company is interested in applying, please do so quickly. Judging from how fast the program was spent out from the original CARES Act appropriation, we have every reason to think it might not last beyond this week. Information on PPP and other relief provisions is available on our resource page.
Congressional leadership has already begun work on infrastructure revitalization legislation. You know better than me that composites should be the GO-TO material to make our built environment stronger, longer lasting, and more resilient in the face of emergencies. Help us make this happen by completing our advocacy survey. As the legislative process speeds up, expect to see more information on our strategy and what you can do to drive success.
Finally, if you have a spare hour this week and are looking for some insights, view the recording from last week’s panel on business operations and planning – it was a great session. If you missed it, now is your chance to catch up!
Have a great week and never hesitate to let ACMA know what we can do to help.
My very best,
MJ Carrabba
Director, Government Affairs
