The Chamber continues to serve as a primary resource for its membership, providing essential information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the Arlington community. Visit arlingtonchamber.org/coronavirus-resources to learn more.

Chamber Resources

The Chamber compiled an updated list of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) lenders in the Chamber membership. The list features 18 lenders and includes specific details on each of their offerings and requirements.

For more information on the PPP loan program, the Chamber’s coronavirus resources page includes resources by the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

On February 16, the Chamber held a Q&A webinar regarding the second round of PPP loans. The Small Business Association (SBA), in consultation with the U.S. Treasury Department, reopened the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for loans in January and there were plenty of questions regarding eligibility and general details.

Roderick Johnson, Lender Relations Specialist, Small Business Administration (SBA), presented timely information for applying for this round of funding. We were also joined by David Dockendorff, Vice President, M&T Bank and Nicholas Preusch, Tax Manager, YHB CPAs & Consultants who took questions from attendees.
