The Bangor Letter Shop received a forgivable loan through the Paycheck Protection Program, which wasco-authoredby Senator Collins. Since 1980, the Bangor Letter Shop has been committed to supporting local businesses, giving back to their community, and strengthening the local economy,said Senator Collins. I am pleased that the Bangor Letter Shop was awarded a forgivable PPP loan, which helped to keep their dedicated employees paid and cover their rent during the economic crisis caused by COVID-19. The Paycheck Protection Program has been a tremendous success, providing more than $525 billion in forgivable loans to more than 5.2 million borrowers nationwide since its launch in early April. In Maine, more than 28,000 small businesses and self-employed individuals have received nearly $2.3 billion in forgivable loans, which has helped to support approximately 240,000 jobs throughout the state. To support the hardest-hit small employers and their employees, Senators Collins and Marco Rubio (R-FL)introducedlegislation that would allow the most severely affected small businesses to receive a second PPP loan. In general, eligible small employers with 300 or fewer employees that have suffered a 35 percent revenue decline could apply for a second forgivable loan. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
