An eligible business may receive a tax-free federal grant equal to the amount of its pandemic-related revenue loss, calculated by subtracting its 2020 gross receipts from its 2019 gross receipts. - If the business is not in operation for the entirety of 2019, the total is the difference between 12 times the average monthly gross receipts for 2019 and the average monthly gross receipts in 2020 (or a formula from SBA).
- If the business is not in operation until 2020, it can receive a grant equal to the amount of “eligible expenses” subtracted by its gross receipts received (or a formula from SBA).
- If the business is not yet in operation as of the application date, but it has made “eligible expenses,” the grant would be made equal to those expenses (or a formula from SBA).
|
|
The SBA can adjust awards based on demand and “relative local costs” in the markets where RRF businesses operate. Otherwise; - $23.6 billion is available for the SBA to award in an equitable manner to businesses of different sizes based on annual gross receipts.
- $5 billion is available to businesses with gross receipts of $500,000 or less during 2019.

The city derives much of its economic vitality from agriculture, food processing, and distribution. It is also home to a rapidly expanding business park adjacent to Interstate 5. The city’s street layout, inspired by the great urban centers of Paris, France, and Washington, D.C., features a circular format in the central district surrounded by radiating spokes.
Patterson is also noted for its numerous trees, especially its palm-lined thoroughfares. In recognition of its agricultural heritage, the city is home to the Apricot Fiesta early each June.
Strategic Location for Business
Locating a business in Patterson places companies strategically located near several of California’s major markets and the Pacific Rim. The area is within 90 miles of the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and California’s central coast.
Patterson is also about a 5-hour drive from Los Angeles. Two of California’s major north-south highways intersect the area: Interstate 5 and Highway 99. All of these advantages add up to equal an outstanding location for business.
