Maryland is awarding $30 million to more than 90 live music and performance venues, live entertainment promoters, and independently-owned local movie theaters, Gov. Larry Hogan announced Friday.
“These awards will save hundreds of jobs and help many of Maryland’s entertainment venues sustain their operations until they can safely and fully reopen,” Hogan said in a statement. “While safe and effective vaccines will help bring a return to normalcy and end the damage to our economy, we need to continue to do everything we can to support our small business community.”
The award recipients span 17 of Maryland’s 24 jurisdictions, including Allegany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Carroll, Dorchester, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Kent, Montgomery, Prince George’s, Talbot, Washington, Wicomico, Worcester counties and Baltimore City. Several of the awards to promoters span multiple jurisdictions.
