These Melrose Businesses Got PPP Loans Over $150K

MELROSE, MA — Forty businesses and non-profits in Melrose received loans of $150,000 or more from the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, helping retain more than 900 jobs.

The U.S. Small Business Administration on Monday released the names of every company that received loans under the coronavirus stimulus package.

PPP loans were established as part of the federal government's CARES act, and are similar to grants: they will be forgiven as long as businesses keep its employees on their payroll, without cutting their pay. However, the money does not necessarily have to go directly to employees as long as the business keeps paying them, it can also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities.

On Monday, the government released data showing that nearly 5 million businesses have received PPP loans totaling over $521,000,000,000. The U.S. Treasury says that money has supported 51.1 million jobs, as much as 84 percent of America's small business employees.
