14th District Small District Security Infrastructure Grant

14th District Small Business Security Infrastructure Grant Program: Door Entry Control

In light of the impact of ICE/CBP operations on our local business community, the 14th District Small Business Security Infrastructure Grant is launching an emergency door buzzer program. Seeing the fear on the faces of business owners, workers and customers as the raids raged through our neighborhoods, it became clear that businesses needed more tools to keep themselves and their customers safe.

Utilizing funds allocated by the State of Illinois' Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for the 14th District Small Business Security Infrastructure Grant, State Representative Kelly Cassidy's office in partnership with Rogers Park Business Alliance (RPBA) have already provided more than $320,000 in support to 45 businesses in the 14th District, and are now making a limited number of door entry control systems (or buzzers) for vulnerable businesses available as a way to help ensure the safety and security of their workplaces.

Given the urgency of the situation, RPBA will work directly with contractors to install a basic buzzer door entry control system for up to 90 businesses in the 14th District. To be considered, businesses must be for-profit, brick and mortar business locations within the boundaries of the 14th House District, provide evidence of being in good standing with the State of Illinois, submit a valid city of Chicago business license and provide other general information by completing this form.

Programa de Subvención para la Infraestructura de Seguridad de Pequeños Negocios del Distrito 14: Control de Acceso en Puertas

En vista del impacto de las operaciones de ICE/CBP en los negocios de nuestra comunidad, el Programa de Subvención para la Infraestructura de Seguridad de Pequeños Negocios del Distrito 14 está lanzando un programa de emergencia de timbres de puerta. Al ver el miedo en los rostros de los dueños de negocios, trabajadores y clientes mientras las redadas arrasan nuestros vecindarios, quedó claro que los negocios necesitaban más herramientas para mantener su seguridad y la de sus clientes.

La oficina de la Representante Estatal Kelly Cassidy y la Alianza de Negocios de Rogers Park (RPBA siglas en inglés) ya han entregado más de $320,000 en apoyo a 45 negocios locales a través del Programa de Subvenciones para la Infraestructura de Seguridad de Pequeños Negocios del Distrito 14, financiado por el Departamento de Comercio y Oportunidades Económicas de Illinois. Ahora están ofreciendo una cantidad limitada de sistemas de control de entrada (timbres) para negocios vulnerables con el fin de fortalecer la seguridad en sus espacios de trabajo.

Debido a la urgencia de la situación, RPBA trabajará directamente con contratistas para instalar un sistema básico de control de acceso en puerta con timbre en hasta 90 negocios del Distrito 14. Para ser considerados, los negocios deben ser empresas con fines de lucro, con una ubicación física, y estar dentro de los límites del Distrito 14 de la Cámara de Representantes, proporcionar evidencia de estar en buena situación con el Estado de Illinois, presentar una licencia comercial válida de la ciudad de Chicago y proporcionar otra información general completando este formulario.
