Notice: Paycheck Protection Program resumes January 11, 2021 at 9am ET

1/11/2021

Comments

 
SBA, in consultation with the U.S. Treasury Department, will open the Paycheck Protection Program loan portal on Monday, January 11, 2021 at 9 am ET.  When the PPP loan portal system opens, it will initially accept First Draw PPP loan applications from participating CFIs, which include Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs), Certified Development Companies (CDCs), and Microloan Intermediaries.

Loan Details
The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.
SBA will forgive loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses.
  • PPP loans have an interest rate of 1%.
  • Loans issued prior to June 5 have a maturity of 2 years. Loans issued after June 5 have a maturity of 5 years.
  • Loan payments will be deferred for borrowers who apply for loan forgiveness until SBA remits the borrower's loan forgiveness amount to the lender. If a borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, payments are deferred 10 months after the end of the covered period for the borrower’s loan forgiveness (either 8 weeks or 24 weeks).
  • No collateral or personal guarantees are required.
  • Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees.

How To Apply
You can apply through any existing SBA 7(a) lender or through any federally insured depository institution, federally insured credit union, and Farm Credit System institution that is participating. Other regulated lenders will be available to make these loans once they are approved and enrolled in the program. You should consult with your local lender as to whether it is participating in the program. 

If you wish to begin preparing your application, you can download the following PPP borrower application forms to see the information that will be requested from you when you apply with a lender:

The Versailles American Legion Post #173 junior shooting team took part in its third match in Southern Indiana Air Rifle competition this past week and came away with yet another victory as the team defeated Shoals, Corydon and Jasper in a virtual match format.

Versailles competed with two teams with both claiming the top two spots in the match. Post #173 saw its No. 1 team win the match with a score of 1063-29 while the No. 2 team finished runner-up with a 928-9. Shoals American Legion Post was third with a 775-6 and the standings were rounded out by the Southern Indiana RPC (Corydon) at 775-6 and the Southern Indiana Sharpshooters (Jasper) with a 617-7.

In the overall individual standings, Versailles took all three places with Maggie Holt winning the match with a 268-11. Tanner Franklin was second with a 267-8 and Richie Block finished third with a 267-5. Holt was also the top shooter in prone competition with a 97-7 and first in the kneeling competition at 97-4.

Trenton Franklin finished runner-up in the prone portion with a 97-5 and Block was third with a 95-4. Block scored an 82-0 and was third in a standing round that also saw Tanner Franklin finish runner up with an 85-2.

Past department commander Rodney Strong recognized for volunteerism

A third selection for the Journal Review’s annual Shining Star contest — created to publicly recognize six leaders in the community — has been named.

Rodney Strong is the latest winner of the contest and was nominated by a member of the community who said he springs to action whenever and wherever the need for help exists.

“[Strong] spends time with his family and still makes time to do all the things the Legion needs,” Post 72 Auxiliary Commander Rosemary Hutchison said. “If anyone needs help with anything — Rodney is the first one to jump in and help get things done.”

Strong, a former Crawfordsville resident who now lives in Veedersburg, is a 35-year meter technician with Crawfordsville Electric Light & Power. He currently serves as American Legion Post 72 commander, doubling his one-year term as commander from 2019 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. He also served a two-year term from 2018-19 as Legion commander for the entire Hoosier state.

“This year has been tough with all the (COVID-19) and everything, but most of the time it’s pretty good,” Strong said. “A lot of our [events] were weighed down. Even BINGO is about half of what we used to get.”

Strong said 2021 may bring a shift in momentum in the fight against COVID-19, and pledges to continue serving the Post and others pro bono.

“I’m always volunteering; we’ve signed up the last couple of years for Salvation Army, ringing the bell,” Strong said of his excursions with wife Sharon Strong.

In addition to collecting holiday donations, Strong volunteers any free time he may find by serving the Post and his family.

Look for stories on additional recipients in upcoming editions of the Journal Review.
