    TAMARAC, Fla., August 11, 2020 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The City of Tamarac announces a Small Business Stabilization Grant program that takes its economic development initiatives to the next level, offering $5,000 grants to eligible small businesses financially impacted by COVID-19.

    “Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy. Unfortunately, many are suffering financially, especially our small retail stores and restaurants,” said Tamarac Mayor Michelle J. Gomez. “These grants will provide some financial relief and ease the burden as they follow COVID-related health guidelines and capacity restrictions that keep the community safe.”

    The City is utilizing CARES Act emergency funds to support this grant program and will accept grant applications on August 24-28. Business owners are encouraged to collect required documentation in advance. Information on eligibility, FAQs and documentation required are available at www.Tamarac.org/EconomicDevelopment.

    Other City initiatives to assist local businesses include the Tamarac Together: Support Local Business campaign, launched in partnership with the Tamarac North Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce. It encourages residents and businesses to buy goods and services from Tamarac-based businesses, which can be done safely when businesses and their patrons follow the guidelines outlined in local Emergency Orders, including facial coverings and social distancing.

    In addition, the City has enacted several business assistance emergency provisions during the pandemic, such as temporarily allowing additional commercial signage for local businesses and outdoor seating at restaurants. The City also eased certain restrictions on established Tamarac businesses using food trucks during the pandemic. Businesses must apply to take advantage of these provisions; the form is available at www.Tamarac.org/368/Planning-and-Zoning.

    –
    ​​​​​​​The City of Tamarac is assisting local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic with the “Tamarac Together: Support Local Business” campaign.

    Launched by the City in partnership with the Tamarac North Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, the economic development campaign encourages residents and businesses to buy goods and services from Tamarac-based businesses. This can be done safely when businesses and their patrons follow the guidelines set forth in local Emergency Orders, including facial coverings and social distancing.

    “Our businesses, large and small, are doing their part to safely deliver goods and services. I see the efforts store owners and employees have put into making their businesses CDC compliant so that our residents and guests feel comfortable, safe and confident to shop in their stores,” said Tamarac Mayor Michelle J. Gomez. “Our local businesses are an integral part of our economy and community, and right now, many are struggling. We need to do our part to help them by buying local whenever possible so we can get through this together.”

    “The Chamber looks forward to working in partnership with the City, to strengthen our economy and together help see our businesses through this trying time,” said Peter Mason, Executive Director of the Tamarac North Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce.

    The campaign includes community-wide signage and an ongoing social media campaign featuring local small businesses and encouraging people to eat, shop and buy locally. It was announced in the City’s Tam-A-Gram newsmagazine, mailed to every household and business in the City. In addition, the City is providing local businesses with an information and resource guide and “Tamarac Together: Support Local Business” window decals to display.

    “This campaign is part of an ongoing economic recovery effort from the pandemic; it’s so important that we come together as a community to help our small businesses get back up and running as soon and as safely as possible,” said Tamarac Economic Development Manager Lori Funderwhite. “We can also help save our economy by socially distancing and wearing face coverings to stop the spread.”

    The “Tamarac Together: Support Local Business” campaign was launched in concert with the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance “Supporters of Broward” campaign to not only encourage individuals to buy local but to encourage companies and organizations to reroute spending to local firms and to engage Broward County certified small businesses as new sources for goods and services. 

    To further assist our small businesses, the City enacted COVID-19 business assistance emergency provisions to temporarily allow additional commercial signage and outdoor seating at restaurants and to ease restrictions on established Tamarac businesses using food trucks during the pandemic. Businesses must apply to take advantage of these provisions; the form is available at www.Tamarac.org/368/Planning-and-Zoning.   

    Supporting local businesses through the pandemic will remain a priority in the days and months ahead. Additional business assistance programs will be forthcoming.

    WASHINGTON, April 23, 2018 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Research and experience show that Americans are not adequately prepared for a hurricane, nor the disruption that it can cause to their lives and communities. Today, Planet Ready launched a unique series of interactive hurricane exercises that are free of charge to the public and may be completed in 15-20 minutes. “We’re inviting millions of individuals and families, small & medium businesses, and houses of worship to participate in a national level effort to get ready for the 2018 hurricane season, which starts in June,” said Joel Thomas, the founder of Planet Ready.

    FEMA Administrator Brock Long recently warned Americans in a CNN interview, “FEMA is broke. The system is broken. If this is the new normal, Americans can’t rely on a federal cavalry when disaster strikes. They will have to take care of themselves.” In the newly published strategic plan, Long calls on non-governmental organizations to help build a culture of preparedness, to ready the nation for catastrophic disasters and to help reduce the complexity of the process. Planet Ready has responded to that call to reach individuals and families and is partnering with private companies such as Dun & Bradstreet to reach businesses and houses of worship within 100 miles of the coast from Texas to Maine, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

    We’re inviting millions of individuals and families, small & medium businesses, and houses of worship to participate in a national level effort to get ready for the 2018 hurricane season, which starts in June.

    Joel Thomas, Founder, Planet Ready

     Silva Design, founded by Kristy Barrett in 2015, is launching its newest, limited stock collection of eleven handcrafted rustic wedding and family gifts this January 30th. Silva Design aims to be part of the journey your family takes. A new house isn’t a home until your Silva Design pieces return the warmth to blank walls.

    With each collection, Barrett begins the process of creating her one of a kind signs by cutting quality spruce pine to showcase its natural wood grain.

    “The Arcadian Collection was designed with simplicity in mind. A classic farmhouse look that brings out the love and warmth in every home.”

    Kristy Barrett, Owner

    With the Arcadian Collection, Barrett flipped her process on its end and performed a reverse white wash. This captured her signature farmhouse design and added vintage flair. The resulting look is easily her best work reminiscent of white-washed church siding, and running barefoot along dirt roads.

    Like all her pieces, Barrett personally assembles, sands, distresses, and walnut-stains the farmhouse signs to lasting perfection. The natural wood enhances the country home decor making the Arcadian Collection the perfect gift for home-town heroes and travelers carrying a piece of home wherever they go.

    “I got one of Kristy’s signs as a wedding gift and they more than loved it! They are so awesome and well made! Plus, Kristy is awesome in her communication and makes you feel really appreciated as a customer. She sends you a sweet email upon ordering and even after you receive to make sure you loved it. She’s great! Already ordered two more for my two brother’s families and will be using her again!”                                                                                                                                                  Chelsie Doherty | Verified Customer Silva Design

    Arcadian Collection

    The Arcadian Collection represents home, hope, love and faith in the future. Whether your gift is for a newlywed couple, military family traveling abroad, or to adorn your wall with some inspiring scripture, Barrett’s white washed wood decor will transform a house into your home.

    At the core of Silva Design are the people. It’s a family business where Kristy and her husband, Heath, work side-by-side handcrafting gifts for families all over this great country. Their dedication to quality, customer service and speedy delivery separates them from their competitors and inspires trust and appreciation in their customers.

    “The Arcadian Collection was designed with simplicity in mind. A classic farmhouse look that brings out the love and warmth in every home.”

    “I always hated covering up my daughter’s gorgeous outfits with large obnoxious bibs intended for mealtime,” says Jessica, “my new collection is launching with over 35 different prints and colors so parents can accessorize their baby’s outfits instead of just covering them up”.

    The bandana bibs are made with quality cotton fabrics in a variety of fun colors and patterns and backed with premium plush velour fabrics that are soft and gentle against baby’s sensitive skin and perfect for all day wear.

    Today’s modern mom is looking for fashionable and functional accessories and bandana bibs are perfect to coordinate with their baby’s wardrobe.

    Jessica started Labor of Love Baby Boutique making cloth diapers.  The shop quickly grew and she started offering other baby must haves like bibs, rattle toys, and soft soled shoes.  After the birth of her second child, a little girl, she quickly jumped in and started offering clothing for all occasions from play-dates to pageant wear and everything in-between.  Families all across the United States, Canada, as far as Singapore and Australia, enjoy Jessica’s handmade garments and accessories.
