Nodaway County businesses garner PPP funds from feds

The US Small Business Administration compiled the list of all federal payouts to businesses through the 2020 Paycheck Protection Program.

The program granted monies to businesses who vowed to keep its workers on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. If the business did, then the monies sent from the SBA used for eligible expenses would be forgiven. Otherwise the business would incur a loan at one percent through a local institution.
