City of Lauderhill Vice Mayor Denise D. Grant Working to Ensure PPP Funding Reaches Lauderhill’s Small Businesses

Lauderhill, FL – January 5, 2021 – 6:00 PM – During the first round of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the City of Lauderhill seized the unique opportunity to engage local banks and lenders rather than relying on large commercial banks to fund loans for its business community. Additionally, our many community partners at the federal, state and county levels stepped up to provide the City with guidance and resources.

As a result of our collective efforts, Lauderhill’s PPP Outreach Program has connected hundreds of businesses with vital funding to stabilize their operations and retain essential jobs for employees, many of whom reside in the local community.

As the pandemic continues to affect the economic vitality of the City, it is evident that additional funding, education and support is needed for our businesses to navigate these ongoing challenges.

The continued support of our community is paramount to our success. As such, we are launching a virtual education series for Lauderhill businesses to prepare new applicants and previous awardees for the PPP Second Draw in accordance with the approval of the recent Economic Stimulus Bill. The first session will be held via Facebook on January 13, 2021 at 6:00 PM at facebook.com/cityoflauderhill.
