NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – In the past year, 40,000 small businesses in New Mexico have received $3.2 billion in federal Paycheck Protection Program loans to help keep employees on their payroll and businesses afloat.
“It’s been huge, huge. I can honestly say without the PPP loan program we probably would not have been able to survive,” said Myra Ghattas, the owner of Slate Street Cafe, Sixty-Six Acres, and a cafe inside the Albuquerque Museum.
