The Bronx Chamber of Commerce reminds all thatIf you received a PPP you are required to apply for forgiveness. There is a 5-minute application that has to be completed in order to have this money completely forgiven, otherwise it becomes a loan in which the SBA and IRS will require to be repaid. We urge everyone who received a PPP loan to apply for forgiveness to avoid having to repay whatever money they received.

On December 5, the Throggs Neck BID, along with Assembly Member Michael Benedetto, the Crosstown Diner, HK Restaurant, Deluca Family McDonalds, and the Throggs Neck Merchants Association presented the Throggs Neck Annual Tree Lighting and Toy Giveaway. The spectacular event drew a large crowd, and featured a musical serenade by the Saint Benedicts Children’s choir and an extraordinary amount of food from the three restaurants featured. Special thanks to the NYC Parks Department, the 45th precinct, and the many volunteers who made the event a success!
