Hair Salons and Barber Shops Reopen

Governor Newsom has announced that County’s such as Riverside with attestation plans approved may now allow the operation of hair salons and barber shops. Of course these businesses need to follow the practices set forward by the State. This allowance is effective immediately.

The guidance for those facilities operations can be found here: https://covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-hair-salons.pdf

Paycheck Protection Plan

The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities.

To apply for forgiveness of your Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan, you (the Borrower) must complete this application as directed in these instructions, and submit it to your Lender (or the Lender that is servicing your loan). Borrowers may also complete this application electronically through their Lender.

Cathedral City Restaurants that offer take-out/delivery

IMG_2291
List of Cathedral City Restaurants that offer take-out / delivery
As we abide by the “Stay at Home” order during the CoronaVirus pandemic, you are still allowed to enjoy your favorite dishes from Cathedral City restaurants via “take-out” or “delivery.”  Many restaurants have devised new systems for you to pay in advance and then they will bring the food to your car (curb side service) if they do not have a drive-thru window.  Additionally, many delivery services will drop off the food at your home, ring a doorbell, and step away to provide the social distancing needed. It may be some time before we are able to enjoy dining inside a restaurant.  We want these restaurants to be open when this pandemic ends (and it will), but we need you to continue to support them now so they can make it to the end. Another idea is to buy gift cards from your favorite restaurant now, which provides them revenue now, and then use them when dining at restaurants is allowed once more. Here is a list of available restaurants according to KESQ and updates sent to Cathedral City: Cathedral City *If you are not listed and want to be, please send your restaurant name, types of service (takeout, delivery via…), days open and hours, plus your website or Facebook page – to cparman@cathedralcity.gov.  Thanks!  We will do our best to update the list daily.
