Since ringing in 2021, we’ve been busy championing business growth and prosperity amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has presented some unique challenges both for the community we serve and the businesses within it. Our commitment to our mission remains the same and we continue to work daily to create a thriving business community across Union County.
- When round 2 of PPP opened and new guidelines were implemented we made sure our members had the information they needed. President Pat Kahle spoke with Levi Kinard, Economic Development Specialist and Walter Lara-Figuero Lender Relationship Specialist from the Small Business Administration. They discussed the added eligible entities and use of the funds, along with what you need to do to prepare and apply efficiently. You can view the video at https://youtu.be/w8_RrYQtous.
