After more than two months of discussion and planning, Skagway's business grant plan, Resolution 20-32R, was passed unanimously by the assembly on Aug. 6. The program, administered by the Skagway Development Corp. (SDC), will distribute $1 million in funds to local businesses.
SDC initially requested $2.5 million for Skagway's business owners. After the municipality received a high volume of applications for the $1,000 monthly CARES payments, they decided to grant $1 million to the business program.

However, the reduction in foot traffic from a lack of tourism and increased telecommuting has produced a market environment that cannot sustain the same level of revenue for businesses of seemingly any size. More than 420 companies -- including Hertz, Lord & Taylor, J Crew and more -- have already filed for bankruptcy protection in 2020, with more to follow as things stand.
Many things are taking place:

The city of Portland has allowed three business districts to pool money for enhanced services, such as transportation and extra police, but has failed to conduct even cursory oversight of those districts, according to a city auditor report.

That money is then redistributed to a nonprofit organization that runs the district. In Portland, that nonprofit is the business association that represents the service district zone.
