These Queens Businesses Scored Coronavirus PPP Loans: MAP

QUEENS, NY — Nearly 3,000 Queens-based businesses secured loans of more than $150,000 from the federal government through the Paycheck Protection Program, created to help companies continue paying workers amid the pandemic, data released this week showed.

The U.S. Small Business Administration released details on individual loans doled out under the program, commonly known as PPP. The data looked at loans taken out that amounted to more than $150,000, as well as those that took out loans of less than $150,000.

Overall, loans of over $150,000 accounted for nearly 75 percent of the money approved, officials said. That data includes business names, addresses, industry and ZIP codes, business type, demographic data, nonprofit information, lender name, jobs supported and loan amount ranges. For all loans below $150,000, the federal government did not disclose individual business names or addresses.

Despite the thousands of businesses that were helped by the program, the coronavirus pandemic threatened to put one out of every five New Yorkers out of a job at its height.

Nearly 40 Queens-based companies took out loans between $5 million and $10 million, records showed.

Recipients in this largest category of loans includes: The Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center, Restani Construction Corporation, ABCO HVACR Supply + Solutions, Rockaway Home Attendant Services, the Northeastern Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Samuel Field YM & YWHA, the car service Elite Limousine Plus and the New York Racing Association.

Additionally, 135 Queens businesses took out loans between $2 million and $5 million and 270 took out loans of between $1 million and $2 million.
