At least four businesses located in Warren County have received at least $1 million through the federal Paycheck Protection Program.

The loans — meant as a lifeline by infusing cash to prevent layoffs amid the coronavirus pandemic — went to a variety of local industries, including Betts Industries Inc., $2-5 million; Crossett, $2-5 million; Whirley Industries Inc., $2-5 million to support 426 workers and John Anderson Construction Inc., $1-2 million to support 85 workers

The Small Business Administration and Treasury Department released details this week regarding 660,000 PPP loans, which include the names of businesses, loan amount, date of approval and number of reported jobs supported. According to that data, 22 loans of at least $1 million have been approved to businesses in the county.

“COVID really hit people hard, and the Paycheck Protection Program really helped keep these businesses afloat during these difficult times,” said Mark Geise, deputy county executive for economic development and CEO of the county Industrial Development Agency. “Every little bit helps, and certainly the PPP was a good tool.”
