These La Grange Businesses Got Federal Payroll Loans

LA GRANGE, IL — The U.S. Small Business Administration released a list of businesses — including those in La Grange — approved for federal payroll protection loans under the Paycheck Protection Program. This disclosure covers each of the 4.9 million PPP loans that have been made since April, according to a press release. The program was set up to assist businesses in moving forward during the coronavirus pandemic.

The average loan size is approximately $100,000, a federal government news release says, "demonstrating that the program is serving the smallest of businesses."

After initially refusing to disclose the recipients of the federal relief, the government relented following lawsuits from media organizations and provided the names of all businesses that borrowed more than $150,000, accounting for about three quarters of the money distributed.

Dozens of La Grange businesses were listed in the government's database for the Payroll Protection Program, helping retain hundreds of jobs. Here is the information provided by the Small Business Administration:
