Orange Park business gets help from Paycheck Protection Program before funds run out
ORANGE PARK, Fla. โ The Small Business Administration said Thursday that it reached the $349 billion lending limit for the Paycheck Protection Program. Nearly 1.7 million loans were approved for small businesses, including Poochieโs Park in Orange Park. Poochieโs Park, like many other small businesses, had to make changes amid the coronavirus pandemic, such as cutting employee hours. He found out Wednesday they could bring back their 24 full-time employees, like Kristi Cessna, and continue to pay them. For the money to run out so fast, it shows just how great the need has been for small businesses.
