SEVENDAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TODAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY “These programs are going to be a really import- ant mechanism for you to shore up short-term cash ﬂ ow needs and operat- ing costs to be able to keep your employees employed,” Newhall said during a recent webinar. The Paycheck Protec- tion Program, funded by the stimulus package approved by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump, is a forgivable loan program that started taking applications Friday. The program, adminis- tered through local banks, helps small businesses cover mortgage, payroll, utilities and other costs while stay- ing open between Feb. 15 and June 30. “It’s intended to help keep your employees in work, and the lights on,” Newhall said. Business owners can qualify for 2.5 times their average monthly pay- roll costs, based on the last year’s averages, with a max- imum of $10 million. They have eight weeks to spend the loan amount on qualiﬁ ed expenses. Banks have 60 days from the time a business submits documentation to decide whether to for- give the loan. Payments, with between 0.5% and 4% interest, are deferred for six months, with two years to pay back the entire loan if BANKS ARE EXPECTING MILLIONS OF APPLICATIONS NATIONWIDE. But banks are expect- ing millions of applica- tions nationwide and have complained about a lack of guidelines and unworkable loan terms from the federal government. Disaster loans, admin- istered directly through the Small Business Adminis- tration at sba.gov, provide up to $2 million to cover payroll and other operating costs. B ut the loans must be paid back within 30 years Walker: Driving a cab ‘never gets old’ Continued from Page A1 — Astoria was supposed to host more than 35 ships . “I was going insane over that idea,” she said . “My car only goes so fast … then it just sort of ﬁ zzled, which was kind of a relief. But the summer money is my win- ter money.” Fears about the virus have shut down more than cruise ships. Stores con- sidered non essential are closed. R estaurants and bars offer to-go options only. “I do feel the crunch and my customers feel the crunch, too,” Walker said . Still, she has cut her rates to ease the burden a bit for people who need a ride. She calls her older customers, just to check in and make sure they have everything they need. She ﬁ ghts back any con- cern for herself these days. Financially, she could give up Mom’s Cab, the one- car operation she runs in Astoria and Warrenton. But she’s been driving cabs for so long now and, anyway, it doesn’t feel like a choice. “Morally, I feel it’s my duty,” she said . “As long as I’ve got gas, people will Partly sunny 59 39 56 42 54 41 Mostly sunny; Clouds and sun Partly sunny milder PACKAGE DEALS APPLIANCE AND HOME FURNISHINGS 529 SE MARLIN, WARRENTON 503-861-0929 Over Mattresses, Furniture & More! 30 Y E A R S IN C L AT S O P COUNT Y SUNDAY MONDAY 57 41 56 41 56 40 Showers possible Showers possible Showers possible HOURS OPEN: MON-FRI 8-6 * SATURDAY * SUNDAY 10-4 We Service What We Sell REGIONAL FORECAST Shown is today’s weather.

She’ll drive them to the hospital. Sorry, she apologizes. That got a little dark. She wants to keep things light. Driving a cab is a bit of freedom to Walker, always has been.

The stimu- lus package also added a potential $10,000 forgivable advance to small business owners. “This is a loan fund that is intended to give you access to low-interest work- ing capital to keep your business operational in the short term,” Newhall said. Business owners with previous bankruptcies may not be eligible. Applicants have to prove their ability to pay the loan back, and put up collateral for loans of more than $25,000. Marty Golden, the direc- tor of the SBA’s Portland district, said the agency has hired additional staff to pro- cess people’s disaster loan applications. Gov. Kate Brown on Friday launched the Coro- navirus Small Business Resource Navigator at oreg- on4biz.com to help connect small businesses to ﬁ nan- cial support and informa- tion to survive the coronavi- rus crisis. “My goal is to connect thousands of Oregon’s small businesses with the federal, state and local ﬁ nancial sup- port available to small busi- nesses dealing with the impacts of COVID-19,” the governor said in a state- ment . “There are potentially billions of dollars available from the CARES Act, and I want Oregon businesses to get their fair share.” not forgiven. “You’ll want to have everything documented that you spend that money on,” Newhall said. “This isn’t a blank check. You’ll need to make sure that you are insti- tuting really good ﬁ nancial controls.” If the business getting the loan reduces employ- ment, the forgiveness goes down proportionately. Only one-quarter of non payroll costs are forgivable, and participating in the pay- check program can cost a business owner tax rebates for people they employee, Newhall said.
