Paycheck Protection Program<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Last week, the federal government enacted a new stimulus package that includes additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which provides direct loans to small businesses struggling during the COVID-19 outbreak. The Small Business Administration (SBA) will forgive these loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities.<\/p>\n

Interested businesses can apply for PPP loans through their bank, credit union, or Farm Credit System institution that is participating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Local Food Security<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

During the\u00a0Monday briefing<\/a>\u00a0from Governor Lamont, administration officials discussed food security and the local supply chain. The CT Organic Farming Association and the Department of Agriculture (DOAG) have partnered to expand the online list of open farmer’s markets and farm stands across the state. Visiting a local farm stand is a great way to support sustainable agriculture and support the local supply chain. Make sure to maintain appropriate social distancing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
