Here are some of the text of the article:
"The Irish Rover is one of 25 eateries in the U.S. to land part of a $1 million grant meant to assist historic independent restaurants.
American Express (NYSE: AXP) and the National Trust for Historic Preservation on Friday announced the 25 U.S. historic independent restaurants that will collectively receive $1 million in grant funding through the “Backing Historic Small Restaurants” grant program, according to a news release.
In its second year, the program will award each establishment $40,000 in funding to help improve the restaurants’ physical space and offer the grantees critical operating costs to help them better serve their customers and grow their businesses.
These grants will help historic restaurants make much-needed updates such as creating outdoor seating, address deferred maintenance of their historic spaces to help serve their communities for years to come, and fund other general operating and marketing costs.
In a recent post on its Facebook page, The Irish Rover, located at 2310 Frankfort Ave., said it was looking for a design-build contractor to build a new cover for the entrance to the restaurant and part of the walkway."
