On August 25, 2020, the Port Commission adopted Resolution 20-41 which approved the Port’s Rent Forgiveness Program.  The rent forgiveness program aims to mitigate the crippling financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic for existing Port tenants, in a fiscally sustainable and implementable manner for the Port. Tenants in the below sectors may be eligible for forgiveness so long as they meet certain criteria.
