COVID-19 Federal Relief Update
As of March 19, Congress has passed two pieces of legislation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Click this link to see a memo that describes how these two laws impact business owners. Congress is currently working on a third bill that is meant to be a significant economic stimulus package. AIA is actively advocating on your behalf for investments within that bill.
