Revive SMTX funding to require masks

The San Marcos City Council indicated in its meeting Tuesday that it would require future recipients of the Revive SMTX small business relief fund to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines in order to receive funding.

Although masks are currently part of CDC guidelines, as CDC guidelines change, the requirements would change as well. The new rule would not apply to those who have already signed an agreement with the city.

The small business relief grant program funding comes from the Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus Relief Funding (CDBG-CRF) Round 1 through the CARES Act.
