The City Council injects 200,000 euros into the local business fabric
The City Council of San Sebastián de La Gomera paid this past Tuesday, July 7, the aid aimed at guaranteeing the maintenance of the activity of SMEs and self-employed workers in the municipality, affected by the Covid-19 crisis. All this, after the holding of a municipal plenary session last Friday in which the necessary credit modification was approved that allows the payment of 200,000 euros.
“An economic injection that arrives in one of the months in which a greater volume of payments is concentrated and that will allow us to collaborate with local businessmen in the maintenance of their businesses,” said the mayor of San Sebastián de La Gomera, Adasat Reyes, who recalled that a total of three hundred and fifty applications were submitted, which means that each beneficiary receives between 450 and 800 euros depending on their characteristics.
“With this subsidy, we make it easier for business owners to recover as soon as the situation allows, with the aim that the negative effects are temporary and the adverse effects on employment in the municipality can be minimized,” he added.
In this regard, the Councilor for the Treasury, Elezar Borrego, explained that, to determine the amount finally granted and as indicated in the bases, the valuation commission took into account whether the closure was partial or total and what was the volume of workers that the company had at that time.
Likewise, he recalled that the deadline for the second aid package, valued at 50,000 euros, has ended, which is intended for both those who recently started and those who wish to consolidate their companies in less than three years and that the subsidy department will try to resolve it as quickly as possible.
