4/16/2020- Payroll Protection Program affects local banks

As part of the CARES Act passed by Congress, the Payroll Protection Program has been created to help small businesses make payroll during this time of uncertainty. That uncertainty even extended to the banks tasked with helping customers apply for the loans. Brandon Fogle with South Central Bank explained that while the beginning of the program rollout was rough, the response from clients has been positive and fulfilling.
