Hogan unveils aid for businesses, extols his economic record at conference

Small businesses in Maryland could be eligible for $25 million in new state aid. Gov. Larry Hogan announced a third round of grants through the Project Restore program as part of his remarks Tuesday at the Maryland Municipal League conference in Ocean City. “More Marylanders applied to start new businesses in 2021 than any other year in recent history,” said Hogan. The conference marked a return to the beach town for the association that represents more than 100 incorporated towns and cities across the state. Hogan has attended all of the association conferences but one in 2015, when he was undergoing treatment for an aggressive form of blood cancer.
