On Monday the U.S. Small Business Administration released the names of companies, non-profits and other entities that received emergency loan funding under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
The funds were approved by Congress to help businesses recover from closures due to COVID-19. What the SBA released on Monday are those employers who received between $150,000 and $10 million.
What follows below is a selected—but not complete—list of East Cobb businesses, non-profits and other employers who have received PPP funding of $150,000 or more.
Some of those East Cobb entities include for-profit companies, several private schools and child care centers, numerous churches and a synagogue, the Indian Hills Country Club, Ginepri Tennis at Olde Towne Athletic Club and assorted non-profits.
Among the companies of note are restaurants and real estate firms, hair salons and dentists, and the Retail Planning Corp., which leases retail space at Woodlawn Square and other shopping centers in metro Atlanta.
The independent non-profit investigative journalism organization ProPublica has put together this searchable database of companies receiving PPP loans in amounts of $150,000 and higher.
The SBA also has released a spreadsheet of those getting $150,000 or less, but is not identifying any of those companies.
A total of 156,810 Georgia companies have received loans, the vast majority of them (138,519) getting less than $150,000.
Among the criteria for receiving the money is for employers to spend most of it on retaining and paying employees. Companies that do that can have their loans turned into grants that don’t have to be repaid.
Private banks and financial institutions make the loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA.
Most of the funds were distributed nationally in April (nearly $350 billion) in federal CARES Act funding, and in May, with another $310 billion when the initial funding ran out.
Another $130 billion is available, and applications for that funding opened on Monday and will be taken until Aug. 8. Click here for more information, and about the PPP in general.

Johnson Ferry Baptist Church returned/refused the payment on general principle, and to my knowledge the only people that might have been furloughed were a handful of temporary/contract employees whose labor was not needed with the shut down. I understand that all full time employees are still on the payroll, even those in ministries that are not operating due to the virus (those with heavy public contacts). I applaud them for their action.
