Year-round SNOW grant program fails after debate - fuel stations, hair salons, newspapers create
In a meeting punctuated with passionate debate, the Borough Assembly voted four to two against Skagway Normal Operations for Wintertime (SNOW) on Sept. 17. The stymied grant program would have awarded $300,000 to year-round businesses.
With individual CARES payments set to end in December, many staple businesses who operate during the winter weren't sure they could afford to stay open year-round after this summer's dismal tourist season.
The Finance Committee crafted SNOW, 20-39R, "in hopes of keeping them (Skagway residents) both mentally and physically healthy during the long winter months…" in response to the financial effects of COVID-19.
