Hawaii’s small businesses ready for more aid
An estimated 11,000 Hawaii small businesses tried but failed to snag forgivable federal loans for paying workers and certain bills amid the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the economy.
But expectations are high that adding $310 billion to the Payroll Protection Program will be approved today in the U.S. House after the Senate did so Tuesday in response to an initial $349 billion running out in 13 days.
Hawaii U.S. Rep. Ed Case said Wednesday that he expects a bill with the extra PPP small-business aid will be passed by the House and signed by President Donald Trump today.
