Washington Retail has joined several other business organizations in a letter urging Congress to extend Paycheck Protection Program small business loans during the coronavirus pandemic.
The letter urges Congress to expand eligibility for operational loans that have kept small businesses alive during shutdowns early in the pandemic and later with reduced shopping capacity.
Congress is currently considering approval of a second round of funding of the loan program. WR supports the legislation because approval will help stabilize the economy and provide the return of retail jobs lost due to the pandemic.
