Shuttered venue owners say federal aid could be a curtain raiser - Marketplace
It's been a whole year since the Rebel Lounge in Phoenix, Arizona, last held a concert. “We’re talking 12 months of 0% revenue,” said Stephen Chilton, who owns the rock 'n' roll club.

“The fact that there is federal aid coming is what’s allowed venues to take on debt, sell assets, empty retirement accounts,” Chilton said — and convince landlords and creditors to work with them.
Audrey Fix Schaefer at the National Independent Venue Association estimated that several hundred venues have closed permanently. But she said the more than $16 billion in federal aid should help many of the rest survive.

Ladd Elementary School to become Waynesboro Marketplace
WAYNESBORO, Va. (WHSV) — After nearly eight years of sitting vacant, Ladd Elementary School in Waynesboro will soon be put to use again.

But now, through an agreement with Augusta County, the City of Waynesboro and a developer based out of North Carolina called Mitchener Properties LLC, the roughly 13-acre space will soon be home to the Waynesboro Marketplace.
There will be five to six buildings on the front half of the property, which will include quick-serve restaurants and an automobile-related or possible medical use business. The back half will potentially be the location for some type of retail store.

Amazon Global Marketplace Data Report 2020-2021 - Sales in the U.S.
Jeff Bezos' change in job title has obscured Amazon's phenomenal success throughout the pandemic. The business has added more than $100bn on the revenue reported in 2020, much of this has been due to shoppers flocking to the site during the various lockdowns. That said, the $386bn in net sales does not capture the full impact of Amazon's crisis winnings.
Due to the way Amazon reports its results, the marketplace performance of its third-party sellers is somewhat concealed, but the magnitude can be gleaned from the accounts.
Government Procurement Startup Marketplace.city Raises $1M
Marketplace.city , a technology procurement startup focused on local government, has raised $1 million from investors.
The company, which officially launched in 2017, has grown relatively quickly: More than 200 governments have signed up to the marketplace, which is free. The list includes giants such as New York City and London, as well as smaller jurisdictions such as Rochester, Mich., and Adams County, Ill.

The company doesn’t seek to replace procurement systems, exactly, but rather to bring data, context and transparency to the process. That includes sharing pricing amounts between participating governments. Instead of charging governments, the company makes its money by charging a 7 percent fee to winning vendors.
Kansas City's Swappa provides peer-to-peer marketplace for gently used tech - Silicon
If consumers have to pay so much for a device that they use everyday, the thinking goes, shouldn't they be able to fix a cracked screen or replace a dead battery, for instance, without having to purchase another brand-new, expensive, glowing rectangle?
Customers are increasingly saying yes, they want the right to repair the technology they already own rather than get locked into the cycle of consumption caused by planned obsolescence. And, naturally, more and more companies are popping up across the Silicon Prairie to meet this demand.
How far will the $28.6 billion relief fund for restaurants go? - Marketplace
How much money businesses qualify for is an easy equation: 2019 gross receipts, minus 2020 receipts, minus any PPP.
Certain types of businesses will be prioritized. “The first 21 days are going to be set aside specifically for women- or veteran-owned businesses or people in socially or economically disadvantaged businesses,” said Sean Kennedy, executive vice president of public affairs at the National Restaurant Association. And $5 billion will go to restaurants that made $500,000 or less in 2019.
