There are other businesses in Scioto County that are not based locally. Those companies and numbers aren't listed here. So, this list is the lowest and most conservative number of Federal PPP money that has flooded into our county.

The PPP loans were designed to provide assistance for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. PPP loans were calculated based on 2.5 times monthly payroll costs. These loans have several options of repayment. This includes deferment and even loan forgiveness.

In order to qualify for loan forgiveness, the business must use it for eligible expenses, retain employee headcount and not reduce an employee's wages by more than 25%.

The Small Business Administration has updated (version 6 as of 01/19/21) the loan forgiveness application. The most current application is available here.
