Inside NoVa: Helping Haymarket: Program aided small business

Miguel Pires, the owner of Zandra’s Taqueria in Haymarket, said he was confused at first why so many customers were flocking to his restaurant in mid-November. 

“Then the management team basically told me I was getting all these vouchers coming in,” Pires said.
In early November, the town printed and mailed four $25 vouchers to each of its 460 residences as part of its financial assistance program called “Helping Haymarket” – or just over 1,800 vouchers altogether.  The program, which ended Dec. 5, allowed residents to use the vouchers like cash at any of 20 participating town businesses.
